Subject: Libraries purchased and moved?

Joe Rose here,

Although not a specific "serials" issue, my question still has a serials
component.  I'd welcome any help, and it would be best to send to me
directly.

My library has recently purchased the collection of a university that
had to file bankruptcy.  We are now working through a number of issues
-- moving, storing, assessing, integrating, etc.  I was wondering if
anyone on the list could put me in contact with someone else who has
been involved in:

1. Purchasing the contents of another library -- or even purchasing a
sizeable portion of one.

2. Moving a collection over a long distance, not just from one building
to another on the same campus.

3. Integrating or processing the newly acquired collection.

Thanks in advance for ANY help or thoughts.
