[Publib] How do most libraries...

[Rebekah Azen]

Hello,
I'm curious as to the ways that librarians in general (particularly 
collection development librarians) today are paying for books and 
materials that are not vendor/subscriber based, such as books from small 
publishers that aren't available through the jobbers. I've normally had 
to get a check cut for each purchase in the libraries I've worked at and 
it's real time consuming and inefficient. Are most librarians using 
credit cards today or purchase orders or what? Are there problems with 
using cedit cards? Are p.o.'s still being used predominantly? What do 
you feel is the best, easiest method?
