My OOP jobber is Midwest. Their contact info: https://www.midwestls.com/ContactMidwest/Representatives I used to sometimes use Alibris, but you still have to browse through and pick them yourself (they do have library services, but I haven't tried them). Midwest does good work finding quality copies, so I prefer to just EDI my orders in and they handle it. Also they EDI the invoices to me, so the whole experience is a lot more integrated.

Good morning, CMU Libraries currently uses Proquest Rialto to place firm orders for books. However, if a book is more than a couple of years old it seems impossible for them to acquire the title for us. What do other libraries do for books that are published 2-5 years ago, what book jobber do you use? Amazon is nice, but the extra work that it causes is problematic for a small staff to manage. Does anyone use Emery Pratt for these publications? We are a customer and have been for a long time, but we use them specifically for acquiring children's award books but could expand if they can handle the issue at hand. What suggestions do you have?
