Hello Librarians:

I am playing devil's advocate in a LIS debate on approval plans; I'm
arguing that approval plans hand over too much responsibility for
collection development to vendors. As practicing librarians, do you feel
there is any merit to this position? If so, why?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Cordially,

Hannah Bennett
