I'm wondering what companies or programs anyone would recommend for leasing
a leisure reading collection for undergraduate students? I've requested
information on Baker and Taylor's Book Leasing System and would appreciate
hearing from any of you about this or other such system.
Thanks,
Helen Anderson

different levels of the different plans. You can contact them at (800)

We subscribe to Brodart's McNaughton Book Service'; it's quite popular with
staff and faculty as well as students and is easy to manage.

We at Penn College lease books from Brodart's McNaughton program. We
have been doing so for two years and the program has been very popular
with our students and particularly our staff. We get about 10 new books
a month and it seems to work very well.
