Title: Serials renewal cycle – doing it the SMU (A different U) way!

(http://proposalspace.com/p/4534/s?key=cFjpH9S7x5Qr2S5S )

Description: 

In 2013, SMU Libraries developed evaluation criteria and drafted Service Level Agreements between the Libraries and selected serials subscription agents. This provided the means to measure agent performance and allowed the Libraries to transform ‘legacy’ practices around the serials renewal cycle which resulted in improved service levels and cost savings.
