Subject: Global BIP as an acquisitions tool

Dear collective wisdom,
I am trying to get a sense of how people might be using Global BIP as an 
acquisitions tool --batch
ordering books, online book searching tools, etc.  I see on their 
website that they offer direct
ordering via Alibris, Booksurge, and Emery Pratt.   I would love to hear 
how you are using it and
how it affects the workflow in your acquisitions department.   I would 
also be interested in any
experiences (positive or negative) you have had using these acquisitions 
features.
Thanks a million in advance,
Leslie Preston
