Subject: Outsourcing for Standing Orders

Have any academic libraries had experience with vendors that
provide physical processing for standing order titles? Academic Book Center
was recently mentioned in an article on outsourcing. I would appreciate
hearing from anyone who has tried this service from any standing order
vendors.
