[aisle] Alternatives to Follett

[Julie Flack]

We've worked with Permabound, but it takes approximately 3 months to get an
order partially filled.  We do like their product and processing.

We're working with Ingram now.  Setup took a bit of effort, but we are
getting books within a few days.  We now have a processed account set up
too, so we can order unprocessed (fast) or processed with MARC record (for
an additional $1.50 per book).  The website gave us a little bit of a
learning curve, but we are getting better!
