Stanford University Libraries Redesign Report
Appendix 5
Qualifying Vendors - Definition and Current
List
For the purpose of this report, "qualifying
vendors" for monographs are those vendors who can
provide, or plan to provide in the near
future:
- on-line databases of the titles they
supply, and remote access to allow libraries to
enter orders or claims directly in those
databases
- shelf-ready materials and the full set of
data -- including bibliographic information,
holdings information (e.g., volume numbers,
number of copies, shelving locations, barcode
numbers), and invoice information -- needed in
advance to prepare for receipt of the
materials
- receipt and transmission of data via
FTP
Based on responses to the RFI, the following
monograph book vendors appear to meet these
qualifications:
- Domestic:
- Academic Book Center
- Ambassador
- Blackwell North America
- Coutts
- Midwest Library Services
- Yankee Book Peddler
- Foreign:
- B. H. Blackwell
- Casalini Libri
- Harrassowitz
- Nijhoff
The calculations of percentages of monographs
that could be obtained with fuller vendor
services (q.v. Process Changes 1 and 2) are based
on the assumption that SUL's domestic approval
plans would continue to come from a qualifying
vendor, and that approval plans for British,
German language, Italian and Netherlands imprints
would continue with, or be redirected to,
qualifying vendors on the above list.
