Working with each Library, YBP will design approval plan profiles governing the selection of books and title notification slips. The Approval Plan Program is designed to be flexible and can be highly customized by both subject and non-subject parameters. YBP ensures prompt delivery of new publications through pre-publication ordering. In general, books are received by the Library within 4 weeks of publication.
Testing is currently in process.
