Hello,
Our university library is planning to put our journals up for bid soon. Our research has helped us some, but most of the articles on this topic are dated and don’t always go into the level of detail we would like.
We have started drafting the Request for Proposal, but are unsure of how to word a few areas. Specifically, we are looking for phrasing on how to request pricing within the RFP. Should we ask for a quote for each journal, a random (or not so random) sample, an overall quote for all the titles, etc? Also, how should service charges be addressed, as this can be a large expense?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Heidi
