Vani,

I would suggest reading, "The RFP Process: Effective Management of the
Acquisition of Library Materials"  by Frances C. Wilkinson and Connie
Capers Thorson.  This book has help me with a project and has lots of
useful information on the evaulation of serial vendors.

I am in the process of comparing and evaluating the services offered by
several journal vendors, so that we can pick the most appropriate vendor
for our library. I would appreciate any advice on what criteria I should
use in evaluating the services offered by different journal vendors.
