Subject: Approval Plans

We have had an approval plan with a major vendor for many years 
and for the most part we've been happy using an approval plan.  
We have not been pleased however with our transition from Baker 
& Taylor's plan to the Yankee plan that they purchased.  This may 
be due to local peculiarities rather than the plan itself.  Have other 
academic libraries had difficulty with the conversion?  Did you find 
you needed to allocate more money to notification slips after the 
conversion?

For any of the major approval plans, what percentage of your 
monographic budget do you allocate to automatic shipment, to 
notification slip orders, and to firm orders.

Thanks for your help.
