Our annual March Madness sale is in full swing. This year we are offering a 22% discount* on published titles from our stock publisher list. This is a great opportunity to save some money, especially with all the budget cuts libraries are facing these days. If anyone needs me to pull a list of books in a particular subject area or a DCT purchase history report, please let me know.
We have also compiled our Average Price Report for 2010. This list shows the average price of books, by NLM class for 2010. We are expecting an 8% increase in the price of books for 2011. This is explained in the letter that accompanies the report. We hope you will find this information useful for budgeting purposes.
We continue to receive more and more perpetual access titles from ebrary. There are over 350 Brandon-Hill and DCT titles available for purchase. Please contact me at ashleyw@mattmccoy.com for a complete list.
On a lighter note…I was in my kitchen the other day and my nine year old son asked, “Do you like Baker & Taylor?” I didn’t know how to respond. I wanted him to know that even though they are a competitor, I respect them and the services they provide to librarians. Before I explained all this I said, “Why do you ask?” He said, “You always drink water out of that Baker & Taylor water bottle.” Needless to say, I laughed at myself for thinking he would even know about Baker & Taylor and the fact that I have no shame about using a competitor’s giveaway. :)
Hope everyone is able to take advantage of our March Madness Sale! Contact me if you have any questions. ashleyw@mattmccoy.com , 800-633-2665 x.374.
* The exception this year is Elsevier titles and imprints (Mosby, W.B. Saunders, Churchill Livingstone, Academic Press, etc.) which will remain at a 10% discount. Certain other exclusions may apply based on publisher discount.
