[Michlib-l] Book vendors

[Laura Hauch]

Adding another question to this inquiry- Do any of the other options you
are using allow for subscribing to authors and series? One of my favorite
parts of Baker and Taylor has been the option to have carts automatically
made for me based on certain authors or series that I subscribe to. I like
how specific it is. I'm not talking general genres or bestsellers lists
like you can subscribe to for Centerpoint and Gale/Thorndike, but actually
sign up for every new James Patterson, Danielle Steel, My Hero Academia,
etc.
