> Hi Everyone:
> Top of the morning to you all. I need your help.
> I am investigating consortial purchases of monographs for my
> consortium. I am wondering whether other consortia are engaged in
> similar venture. I will like to know the following:
> Does your consortium cover community colleges?
> Are you using the approval plan system?
> How did you choose the vendor/vendors?
> How did you come up with the number of copies per state?
> How did you resolve the fact the each institution in the consortium
> offers different programs and may have different needs?
> How did you resolve the issue of academic levels of the books?
> Are all the transactions through approval plans or you do firm orders
> as well?
> If so, how do you select the titles?
>
> I am sorry for the number of questions. I have more, but these will
> get me started. I appreciate your help. If you have more to contribute
> that I fail to include, please feel free to add it to your response.

> Thank you very much.
