Hello, I am the librarian responsible for culling the monographs collection 
at the Calvin T. Ryan Library, University of Nebraska at Kearney.  We have 
contracted with Better World Books for a year now for the disposal of books 
withdrawn from our collection.  The agreement has worked very well and we 
have renewed our contract with BWB. However, I would like to know if anyone 
else out there has agreements with other companies in order to dispose of 
withdrawn material, and if they can tell me something about their 
experience with these other enterprises.  I would like to be able to look 
at our experience with BWB comparatively, thus my question.

If others are interested I would be happy to share responses with the list.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Trudy
