Previous surveys of libraries using approval plans included McCullough, K., Posey, E., and Pickett, D., Approval Plans and Academic Libraries, Phoenix: Orix, 1977, who cite some earlier surveys on p. viii. The landmark survey in this area was conducted by Reidelbach, John H. and Shirk, Gary M., "Selecting an approval plan vendor: A step-by-step process." Library Acquisitions: Practice and Theory, 7 (No. 2 1983), 115-112; "Selecting an approval plan vendor II: Comparative vendor data," Library Acquisitions: Practice and Theory, 8 (No. 3 1984), 157-202; and, especially, "Selecting an approval plan vendor III: Academic librarians' evaluations of eight United States approval plan vendors," Library Acquisitions: Practice and Theory, 9 (No. 3 1985), 177-260, which is the most extensive survey in print dealing with approval plans, to our knowledge. Surveys of management of approval plans in ARL libraries were contained in Approval Plans in ARL Libraries Spec Kit #83, Washington, D.C.: Association of Research Libraries, 1982 and Approval Plans, Spec Kit #141, Washington, D.C.: Association of Research Libraries, 1988, 1-30; and Flood, Susan, compiler, Evolution & Status of Approval Plans. SPEC Kit 221, Washington, D.C.: Association of Research Libraries, 1997, 1-21. Rossi, Gary J., "Library approval plans: A selected, annotated bibliography," Library Acquisitions: Practice and Theory, 11 (No. 1 1987), 3-34, is a standard bibliography to 1986. More current on one aspect of approval plans is Case, Beau, "Approval plan evaluation studies: A selected, annotated bibliography, 1969-1996," Against the Grain, 8 (Sept., 1996), 18-22, 24.
