Use multiple subscription vendors / agents? Michele Montague 15 Aug 2006 19:30 UTC

Do you use more than one vendor to supply your print serials?  What are
the pros and cons?

I'm especially interested in hearing from public libraries.

The subscription needs at our main location are more complex than those
of our seven neighborhood branches.  We're considering going with a
smaller vendor for the branches, and retaining our current vendor for
main only.

Please share any comments or insights.  Thanks.
