Dear collective wisdom, I am trying to get a sense of how people might be using Global BIP as an acquisitions tool --batch ordering books, online book searching tools, etc. I see on their website that they offer direct ordering via Alibris, Booksurge, and Emery Pratt. I would love to hear how you are using it and how it affects the workflow in your acquisitions department. I would also be interested in any other experiences (positive or negative) you have had using these acquisitions features. Thanks a million in advance, -- Leslie Preston Head of Acquisitions Gladys Marcus Library Fashion Institute of Technology Seventh Ave. at 27th Street, Room E619e New York, NY 10001-5992 212-217-4346 __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
