Subject: Policy for purchase of subsequent editions of titles

I am curious to find out if anyone has a policy for dealing with the 
purchase of subsequent editions of monographic titles.  If you would 
respond to my little survey below, I will summarize for the list.

______ I automatically purchase the next edition of a title.  The length 
of time since the publication of the previous edition is of no consequence.

______ I wait a prescribed amount of time (indicate below the timeframe 
that you use) after the previous edition before making my purchase of 
the next edition.
         _____ I wait 2 years after the previous edition's publication.
         _____ I wait 3 years after the previous edition's publication.
         _____ I wait 4 years after the previous edition's publication.
         _____ I wait 5 years after the previous edition's publication.
         _____ I wait more than 5 years.  Please indicate how many______.


Thanks for your feedback.

Stephen Clark
