From: Laura Jantek <malj1_at_nsh.library.ns.ca>
We are developing a pilot project to assess how we can successfully
outsource selection for some areas of our collections.
Have any libraries developed assessment checklists or guidelines for
analysing what vendors can provide? What kinds of tools have you
developed to determine their success rate in matching the profiles you
supply them?
any and all comments will be gratefully received, especially from
public libraries. If you wish to send to me direct I can summarize for the
list.
