Subject: Fiction SO Audiobook Vendors with Repackaging

Hi – We are a public library looking for a new vendor for a fiction 
author standing order
(i.e., automatic) plan for audiobooks. We have almost 300 authors on our 
standing order
list. We need the vendor to be able to repackage the audio into library 
cases. We are
currently with Ingram but are finding that their invoicing options do 
not suit our accounting
requirements. I have also looked into B&T (not enough authors available 
on AY),
Brodart (does not offer), and BWI (expensive repackaging/delay).

Can any public librarians out there tell me if they have successfully 
used another vendor
for this? We are not interested in repackaging our own items.

Thanks,
Vicki
