Raising the Bar: Book Vendors and the New Realities of Service.

Alessi, Dana L.

Journal of Library Administration, v28 n2 p2540 1999

Library book vendors are facing new realities in the 21st century. Changes in continuations, firm order placement, value-added services, approval plans, retrospective collection development, and database creation and maintenance are being effected in an effort to keep current customers and attract new ones. Those changes and the subsequent shift to informationbased vendors are addressed. (Author)
