Continuations
Continuations--whether they be annual or irregular, numbered or unnumbered, monographic or non-monographic books in series--require special attention from both libraries and their suppliers. By transferring their continuations orders to a book vendor like YBP, libraries can avoid the service charges often imposed by subscription agents, while taking advantage of enhanced services.
As library budgets are stretched further and further, maximizing purchasing power becomes crucial. YBP helps libraries reduce the cost of continuation orders.
Why Use YBP?
YBP's close ties with publishers, combined with our own highly-developed automated systems, ensure that the special challenges of serial publications are met. And, YBP starts right at the beginning. Through consultation with each customer, we work to develop a customized plan for transferring continuation orders. Libraries begin to benefit immediately from competitive discounts, duplication control, and access to YBP's online series file.
Of course, customers also receive YBP's responsive, accurate service. Once orders are transferred, our expert staff works with each customer
to identify and fill gaps in coverage, and then provides ongoing status reports and updates on any changes in publication. Click here for more information on our transfer service.

Titles Not Available
The principle guiding YBP's continuations unit is to supply a wide range of books in series that can be purchased, tracked, and shipped efficiently and effectively to our customers. Certain serials do not allow us to maintain this standard of service, and so, there are types of publications that are generally not handled on continuation at YBP. Click for more information.
