Microfilm replacement orders for brittle books

Northwestern is beginning a program to review brittle books for
replacement and reformatting.  We are encountering a problem in that the
major bibliographic tools for locating film (NRMM, RLIN) do not
include price quotes. We have to write for the price and face a delay of
anywhere from 2-8 wks.

* How have other institutions handled this problem?
* Is there a short cut?  Possibly a better and more efficient way of
placing orders?

Thank you for any suggestions you can offer.
