Hoffert, Barbara Public Libraries Library Services Vendors Librarians Library Role Library Administration Library Materials Reading Material Selection Library Development With the pileup of responsibilities that range from programming to outreach to web management, more and more librarians are finding vendor-based book selection enticing.

However, using vendors to help facilitate collection development is both controversial and complex. This article takes a look at Phoenix Public Library's decision to procure the services of vendors in its book selection responsibilities. This article also describes the advantages and disadvantages of using vendors in library's book selection and development processes.
