1 YBP APPROVAL PLAN PROFILE AND MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT University of Arkansas at Fayetteville Trade Press Plan # 5501; Account September 1999 Rev. 2/06; 1/08 This memorandum is intended to explain the Library's initial arrangement with YBP Library Services, a Baker & Taylor Company, to announce selected publications on an approval basis. The explanation is presented in two parts. Part I briefly describes the procedures which govern billing, shipment, discount, and returns of materials provided on approval. Part II lists the Approval Plan Publisher Profile for the program, the plan's subject parameters, and the non-subject qualifiers which limit the plan. Both the Library and Yankee Book recognize that some changes to these guidelines may be necessary as the program evolves over a period of time. Any change in substance will be recorded in a written communication from Yankee Book to the Library. I. GENERAL PROCEDURES A. Billing: 1. A three-part invoice will be included in each shipment with books listed alphabetically by title. Payment will be made from this invoice. 2. A three-part bibliographic form will be included in each book for the Library's use. 3. Purchase order APPROVAL will appear on all invoices and shipping labels. B. Shipment: 1. Shipments will include notification slips (title announcements sent in lieu of a book), and only those books ordered by the library. No books will be shipped automatically at the outset of this plan. Unless specifically requested otherwise, one copy of each title ordered will be shipped. 2. Shipments will be made via truck or United Parcel Service on a weekly basis. Yankee Book will pay for shipping to the Library. 3. Materials will be shipped to the following address: Acquisitions Department University of Arkansas Libraries 365 N.

Returns are not expected to exceed 5%. 3. Titles may be returned in resalable condition within 120 days of date of Yankee Book invoice. 4. Returns must be shipped at customer expense via UPS or insured mail. II. TECHNICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS A. GOBI YBP s GOBI (Global Online Bibliographic Information) service is available to the Library via the World Wide Web. GOBI provides a sophisticated acquisitions and collection development support system, with access to querying, selection, ordering and reporting functions across YBP s entire database of titles. B. Bibliographic, Cataloging, & Processing Services The Library has contracted with YBP for the range of bibliographic, cataloging, and/or processing services specified in the Library s YBP Technical Services Profile. The Technical Services Profile, in conjunction with the Memorandum of Agreement, details the specific services to be provided and the responsibilities of each partner. Success in the outsourcing of acquisitions and technical services requires ongoing consultation and a mutual commitment to working together to address issues and concerns as they arise. III.

16 PAGE 16 CONTENT LEVEL DEFINITIONS General-Academic (GEN-AC): This category is applied to works of scholarship which assume no prior knowledge of a topic. Accessible to any college or university student, these are often studies of broad subject areas or of topics of high current interest. Some titles not strictly academic in nature, such as fiction and poetry of literary quality, and quality works of journalism or other non-fiction, also would be placed here. All General-Academic titles would be appropriate for undergraduate study. Advanced -Academic (ADV-AC): This level applies to all works of scholarship treating narrowly defined or difficult topics, but generally accessible to advanced students or faculty within a discipline or to those who may be reading in a specialty other than their own. Some Advanced-Academic titles also are appropriate for use by upper-level undergraduates. Professional (PROF): This level applies to works of extreme technical difficulty or treating such esoteric subjects as to interest only welltrained specialists in the field. Practical guidebooks written for working professionals in fields such as Education, Business, Law, Medicine, Nursing, or Social Work, even when not highly technical, also would fall into this category. Basic Studies (BASIC): Non-fiction books primarily developed by publishers for secondary schools, but bridging the college market through usefulness in basic courses. Usually published in series in concise and uniform format, they are written in a highly accessible style, are usually well illustrated, and normally treat topics of current or longstanding interest. They are used by novice undergraduate students enrolled in required courses designed to assist them in learning to critically synthesize information in research and writing, and by students whose first language is not English. Popular (POP): Books rated at this level are primarily intended for retail sale to a very broad readership beyond colleges and universities. The Popular level would include genre fiction such as mysteries and science fiction; inspirational poetry or spirituality; cookbooks; most travel guides; many biographies of athletes, movie stars, and other entertainment figures; and materials intended for casual reading or individual self-help or instruction, as opposed to academic or professional study. Juvenile (JUV): This category applies to books intended to be read by children. The YBP approval plan program treats only those children s titles published by university presses. We do not treat the thousands of children s titles released by trade publishers. 16
