[PADG:1024] Paperback Preferred Question

["Barbara B. Eden" <beb1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,
Cornell University Library is contemplating changing the profile of the
collection development approval plan to be paperbacks preferred.
I have been asked to poll colleagues to see if any of your
institutions  have  done this, and if so, have there been any
concerns/issues with the quality of the paper.  I am less concerned
about the binding,  since we stiffen all of our paperbacks. 
 
Thanks so much for your assistance.
 
Best regards,
 
Barbara Berger Eden
