<br>
I'm a little embarrassed that it has take me so long to compile my
list of responses to share with you all, but here it is. I would
like to thank everyone who answered my call for help. You all
gave me lots of valuable information and leads. Thanks so much,
and hopefully this compilation of ideas will benefit others as
well. <br>
<br>
Happy New Year!<br>

<br>
We at Hood River Library are working on updating our Spanish
Language collection and I would love some input from other
libraries on how you go about selecting and ordering these types
of materials, so I have a couple questions for you all.
<br>
<br>
Vendors - I see that major vendors such as Baker & Taylor and
Ingram do have Spanish materials, but often they are not
discounted. Also, I don't know how great their selection is - how
it compares to what is available out there and what Spanish
readers are reading. Is anyone aware of good vendors for Spanish
materials? Who do you use?
<br>
<br>
Selecting - Although I speak a little Spanish, I am not fluent,
which makes selecting Spanish materials a little more difficult
than selecting English titles (which can be difficult in its own
right :-) ). How do you go about selecting Spanish materials? Do
you have Spanish speakers on staff that choose books? Do you rely
on standing order type plans, or vendors to do selecting for you?
<br>
<br>
If you have any input or advice for me, I'd love to hear it.
<br>
<br>
Thanks so much,
<br>
Amanda
