Hi Rich,
I have another question about your vendor. Do they provide technical services (processing) fees expenditure reports, with or without a breakdown of the processes? YBP does not provide this service. Its coded and you can retrieve statements, but no reports.
Thanks,

Hi. Yes, I can report that the main vendor we use, Coutts/Ingram, does
indeed do the customizations that Mike described in his message (i.e.
accurately encoded records, fund and location codes), and it's free. This
is one of the reasons we have been reluctant to use YBP as our main vendor,
because this charge exists, but we're unclear why it exists.
I'm also curious why YBP charges an annual fee for the advanced features
of the GOBI platform. Again, our vendor charges no such fee at all for the
use of their full platform, and we are unclear why YBP has such a fee.

We have for most of our titles. It works well for us. We are a small University, and we never really had a huge list of standing orders to start with. We are finding that while it does take a careful checking to make sure each edition has been ordered, we have saved money doing it this way.
I have created a spreadsheet for title with a field for expected publication date. I check on each title around that time, and I either order it if it is available, or change the date if the publication date has changed.
Also, I am the only one who orders books for my institution, so I don't have to worry about duplication of orders.
Please let me know if you have any specific questions!

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Standing Orders
Has anyone eliminated all standing orders with book vendors and started ordering them on an edition-by-edition basis? I'd be interested to hear any comments or feedback on how well that has (or hasn't) worked.
