Phyllis We are currently doing an evaluation of our serial vendors. We found the following two books very useful. So, you may want to read "Guide to performance evaluation of serials vendors" by Association for Library Collection and Technical Services, 1997 and The RFP Process by Wilkinson and Thorson. Both books give you the necessary criteria on judging or choosing a serial vendor.
