Subject: ACQNET: eBay and online auction policies

Aloha,
I am exploring the option of purchasing materials through eBay and
online auctions policies in general. The University of Hawaii at
Manoa and the state of Hawaii require certain policies and procedures
for our acquisitions process.

If you have the time, could you share with me the policies of your
institution?

1. Do you use eBay, or online auctions, or have you explored this
   option for purchasing library materials?
2. Does your institution have a policy in place for using online
    auctions?
3. What prevents you from using an online auction (acquisitions
    policy, technology, time)?
4. What is your library type (university, college, public, specialized,
     other)?

Please respond to: acarlson_at_hawaii.edu  I hope to summarize answers
for the list, if people are interested.

Thank you so much for your help.
