[Michlib-l] Book vendors

[James B Lenze]

I recently learned that Follett is planning on entering the Public Library
market.  Until now, they have been selling to schools but not public
libraries.  I'm not sure when they plan on making the change.
Ingram, Brodart, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon are the best options until then.
