Hi Kathy,

Here is a list of titles that I use a reference:

Titles:

Guidelines for Handling Library Orders for Serials and
Periodicals-1973
by ALA

Guide to Performance Evaluation of Serials Vendors by ALA

The RFP Process: Effective Management of the Acquisitions of Library
Materials by Wilkinson and Capers-Thorson-1998

Serials Management: A Practical Guide by Chen-1997-published by ALA
Managing Electronic Serials-by Bluh-2001- published by ALA

I use these sources although some are quite dated.  I also read journal
articles and belong to the listservs.  The journals and listserv
mentioned in the other emails I have read from and used.

These sources are available, some still in print.

Sincerely,

Terence Lionel Rose
