Convenience and turnaround drive increased usage
"In the past year we have increased our use of Alibris for Libraries, largely due to the ease of purchasing and the availability of material. Alibris generally ships what we need in one to two weeks. This timeliness is important to us when we get requests for items outside our standing approval plans."
"Equally as important is the ability to use a Purchase Order. We have full and part-time staff who order from Alibris and each of them has his or her own account. Some online booksellers require us to use a credit card which creates extra work because of the detailed paper trail we need to provide to the purchasing department."
"We use Alibris for newly requested items as well as for replacements. We are pleased with Alibris' prices and the quality of used books, which we order if new copies aren't available. We take advantage of the seller rating system, which makes it easy to order from sellers whose reputation for quality we trust."
"The Alibris for Libraries site is straightforward and easy to use. When we have had questions about returns or cancellations we have found Alibris' customer support staff to be very responsive."
"With the quick turnaround on receiving our orders and the ease of ordering with Purchase Orders, Alibris for Libraries works well for us."
