Subject:      1st item?
 
I'd like to hear some follow-up discussion regarding Betsey Kruger's
Charleston paper on whether to buy British imprints from Britain
or the U.S. This IS a materials pricing issue, of course, but in
this case we're talking about books and where to buy them.
 
Some questions include:
 
1. Has anyone cancelled his or her British approval plan?
 
2. Has anyone converted to a forms only plan? I heard earlier this
   summer that an institution of higher learning in Alabama had
   converted to forms only and was holding the forms for (some
   period of time??) to see whether an American edition would
   show up.
 
3. Has anyone instructed his or her domestic approval plan vendor
   to begin supplying the US edition of UK/US imprints? Actually,
   maybe some people have been doing this all along. At Emory and
   my previous institution our emphasis has been on eliminating
   any domestic duplication of UK imprints.
