Subject: RE: ACQNET: RE - Opening day collections

Brodart did an opening day collection project for us several years ago. This
involved the creation of pre-selection lists (based on review sources we
selected).  We then chose the items we wanted and Brodart acquired them,
processed them, and even stored them for us.  (We had to buy the collection
over two fiscal years but had no physical building until the 2nd fiscal
year, hence the need for storage.)  I'd be happy to provide further
information about our project if needed.
