If you can use a purchasing card, try www.amazon.ca<http://www.amazon.ca> for just about any Canadian material you need.

The conversion takes place when the transaction is posted. acqnet-l_at_lists.ibiblio.org<mailto:acqnet-l_at_lists.ibiblio.org> wrote: Jim, I don't have an answer to your query but I am curious why your Business Office can't convert from whatever foreign currency amount into U.S $$. Our Business Office does this routinely. They use a well-respected - free - online currency converter. There are a number from which to choose. It is really easy. And I believe they use the date of the invoice as the date by which to convert currency. Thank you. -Carol Kornhauser On Aug 24, 2009, at 11:54 AM, acqnet-l_at_lists.ibiblio.org<mailto:acqnet-l_at_lists.ibiblio.org> wrote: Hello, We would like to order a copy of a cd-rom product from Canadian vendor Transcontinental, which I understand acquired Chenliere Education a couple of years ago. Transcontinental does not bill in U.S. $, which makes things somewhat problematic for our Business Office. Does anyone know of a U.S. based distributor for Transcontinental products? Thanks.
