RE: [ALCTS-acqnet] Print Approval Vendors for Catalan Monographs

I passed your message on to our Latin American bibliographer and here is what she shared.  Good Luck! Lisa

As far as I know, Studia Humanitatis and Digitalia are the same company – or, run by the same person – but Digitalia focuses on e-content, whereas SH was for print monographs.  So it looks like LLuis Claret, the owner, is no longer in the business of print books.  I work with Iberoamericana Vervuert for Spanish imprints, though I don’t know how well they handle Catalan (I buy very little in Catalan).  If Casalini offers Catalan titles then they are solid, without a doubt, and generally easy for libraries to work with.  I’d reach out to Iberoamericana Vervuert first and if they can’t help out, then Casalini,

Leonardo,

It was my understanding that Digitalia is basically Studia Humanitatis with a U.S. address. We have been using Digitalia as a Catalan approval vendor for a few years now and are satisfied with their performance.

Best,

Hello,

Our institution previously had an approval plan for Catalan language materials with Studia Humanitatis.  Unfortunately they have went out of business.  We are in the process of trying to find a new approval vendor for Catalan materials, and I would like to know if anyone has recommendations.
I have been told by colleagues that both Casalini and Digitalia are worthy possible candidates, but any opinions would be helpful and welcome.
