Kate,
We would love to see Baker & Taylor added to the list. We have been trying
to set up GIST on a server here at Pratt, but the lead person is currently
on Maternity leave, so the project hasn't moved much in the last few months.
Best,
John A. Maier

Subject: Re: [ACQNET-L] Which vendors do you most often use when purchasing
books & media?
A question to all Acquisition Librarians: Which vendors do you most often
use when purchasing books and media? At SUNY Geneseo, we have been working
on a system called GIST (the Getting It System Toolkit) to streamline
purchase requests and the acquisitions of materials using the ILL request
management software, ILLiad. Within ILLiad there are web services called
"addons", and we have developed one called the "GIST Purchase Addon", which
allows you to easily purchase and shop for requested items without leaving
the ILLiad client. You can set your default vendor which will be displayed
once you open the tab. To price compare, you can simply choose from a drop
down list of available vendors. The addon will run a search and display the
results from that vendor's website. If you have an account, it will log you
in automatically so you can easily submit your order. At present, the
following vendors are available to search from within the GIST Purchase
Addon:
* Abe Books
* Addall
* Alibris
* Amazon
* Barnes and Noble
* Better World Books
* Book House
* Bookmooch
* Cassalini
* YBP's GOBI
* Midwest Tape
* PaperbackSwap
* SwapaCD
* SwapaDVD
We're curious about which vendors are used most frequently and might be
missing from this list. Please feel free to respond off-list to
