Investigating Indian Language Vendors for Juvenile Collections
by Cherie Edmonds 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Hello, I'm doing an investigation to see if there are better options for Indian language vendors (specifically looking for juvenile collections) other than DK Agencies. If you work with someone other than DK for Indian language materials can you tell me: * What is their pricing like? * What is the ordering process like? * How is the customer service experience? * Do the books come with catalog records, or do you use another method for cataloging? * If the books don't come with catalog records, can you provide details and pricing for how you handle cataloging those materials?
