> I am hoping that you will consider sharing your formal or informal 
> policy on acquiring self-published books. By self-published I mean 
> subsidy/vanity press books, books that were self published through 
> print on demand services, and books for which that the author has 
> assumed all production tasks.

>  
>
> If you have added any self-published books to your collection, would 
> you please indicate the total number of books that you have added in 
> the number of years? For example, “I have added one self-published 
> book in the 4 years that I have had collection development 
> responsibilities.”

> Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
