3+Key+Online+Vendors+for+Purchasing+Materials,+etc.


 * 1.** [|Popular Subscription Service]


 * An abundance of magazine titles, looks like a very secure login system.


 * This tool will be helpful for selection and purchasing purposes.


 * I found this on LM_Net in a Hit post from Megan Kurtz from March 4th.


 * It's strong because there's a lot on here and you are sure to find some magazine that will work for your students. They have descriptions (rather short) and a nice pricing list. But there are some rather risque looking magazines on this site so hopefully you don't click on those on accident.

 * 2.** [|Newegg.com]


 * This has a lot of electronic stuff on here and a lot of it is for a really good price.


 * It will be helpful finding items needed for a cheaper price.


 * I've known about this tool for a long time; we used it in my old job to order things for a department and I have personally used it.


 * I can't really think of anything wrong with this site; they even have bookshelves that I think would work in a library.

 * 3.** [|Kapco Book Protection]


 * As the title implies, this website is devoted to the fixing and protection of books. Some of the titles are laminates, tapes, book covers, book processing, tools and accessories, etc.


 * This will be helpful for protecting books and such.


 * I found this on LM_Net in a Hit posted by Katie Monroe from March 17th.


 * It's strong because it has everything you could possibly want as far as fixing and protecting books. It seems a little expensive to me but it's still really cool.

 * 4.** [|Junior Library Guild]


 * This has lots of reviews and seems to be a more neutral book buying source rather than going through Scholastic or something do that.


 * It will be helpful in finding books and having professional reviews on items.


 * I found this through a Google search in which I was looking for library organizations.


 * This has books for all reading levels and they are broken into the various grade levels. I'm not sure how much it costs to register for it but it claims that if you register you only $167.40 for each reading level. It also kind of looks like the books don't already come with MARC records but since I'm not a member I 'm not exactly sure.
