Aloha,

I am exploring the option of purchasing materials through ebay or online
auctions in general. The University of Hawaii at Manoa and the state of
Hawaii require certain policies and procedures for our acquisitions process.

If you have the time, could you share with me the policies of your institution?

1. Do you use ebay, or online auctions,or have you explored the option for
purchasing library materials?

2. Does your institution have a policy in place for using online auctions?

3. What prevents you from using an online auction (acq policy, technology,
time)?

4. What is your library type (University, college, public, specialized, etc)?

Please respond to: acarlson@hawaii.edu

Thank you so much for your help. I hope to summarize answers for the list,
if people are interested.
