Capturing the Mainstream: Publisher-Based and Subject-Based Approval Plans in Academic Libraries.

Schmidt, Karen A.

College and Research Libraries, v47 n4 p365-69 Jul 1986

A comparison of subject- and publisher-based book approval plans for academic libraries found publisher-based plans to be more successful for purchasing domestic publications, and subject-based plans for international ones. Library collections, organization, and vagaries of the publishing industry form the basis for selecting the plan which is most economical. (CDD)
