I just cancelled all of our B & T orders from our prior fiscal year (pre-June 30th) including a few from 2023 and 2024.  We're exploring Barnes & Noble's Classworks, Amazon's new library service, and possibly Brodart.  We use Ingram for travel guides and a few series, but find them more expensive, less customer friendly, and their user interface is not very intuitive for us.  Not that Ingram is bad, just not our first choice unless it has to be.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Switching from Baker & Taylor?

Hello Michigan Librarians,

This question may have been asked by others in the past few years, but has anyone moved away from Baker & Taylor as their primary book supplier?

If so, who did you select as your supplier? Have there been any pros/cons to changing? 

Do you have any pointers for those who might be considering a switch?

Thank you,

Ross Wine
