Subject: Outsourcing the handling of gifts-in-kind
Is anyone aware of libraries that have completely outsourced the
handling
of their gifts-in-kind? By this I mean that the vendor handles the gift
materials from the point they are received, they search titles against
the
library's catalog and notifies the library which gifts are duplicates,
and
the vendor handles the disposal of the gifts - usually via re-sale.
