Vendor Selection Guidelines

Vendor Selection Guidelines for U.S. Monographic orders

Here are our new guidelines for ordering, effective 1/2007 - we'll be using Midwest (vendor code mido) for firm orders more than we have been; they've offered us a better discount if we increase our orders. Midwest has a huge list of publishers they deal with (much larger than it was a few years ago when we stopped doing a lot of ordering from them.) We've had no problems ordering from them with edifact, and they're also quite responsive when we've had any questions.

Forms & Current titles, up to two years old: Yankee (ybpr/ybps)
0% discount from Yankee: Midwest (mido)
Sci-fi in stock: Baker & Taylor Sci Fi acct (batsf)
Sci-fi not in stock: Bookhouse Sci Fi acct (bkhsf)
Titles older than two years: Split between bkhos and mido (that is, use Bookhouse for one request, Midwest for the next - try not to switch within the same packet, as that will make it more complicated for confirmations as well as other things...)
Reserve orders in stock at B&T: online via B&T Link (batr)
Reserve orders not in stock: use Bookhouse's online Order Database (bkhos)
Other rushes: bkhos & mido
