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
