Dear Librarians
What do other serial librarians think about frequently changing vendors.
Last year we transferred all our subscriptions to one vendor (130 journals). This year my boss insisted I get an estimate from another vendor to see who was cheaper and either play one off the other or to simply jump boat and change vendors again!.
What good reasons can I give her as to why this is not a good idea other than items that never turn up or double issues. For her, the financial aspect is the only issue! . There is actually quite a substantial difference.I have insisted that she first negotiate with our present vendor which she has agreed to do.
Thanks for any insights
