Subject: Approval Plans
Good Morning,
I am brand new to the field of Acquisitions and need some advice
and suggestions regarding approval plans for monographs. I work
for a large university and one of my first assignments is to
prepare the Approval Plan Bid. We currently have an existing
approval plan with a major vendor, but I'm not sure they are
completely meeting our needs. Any advice or suggestions would be
helpful, in particular:
1. Criteria other universities used when choosing an approval plan.
2. Any positive or negative feedback in dealing with a particular vendor.
3. Approval plan suggestions for scientific and technology materials.
We do plan on having some pre-processing of the books included in the bid.
Please respond directly to me and I will summarize for anyone interested.
Thank you,
Faedra M. Wills
