RESPONSE TO RFP #21RP008

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / EXPERIENCE

Brodart is the premier supplier of shelf-ready print material in the public library market. With over 80
years of experience in delivering quality, service and new concepts to the library market, Brodart is a
strategic partner and primary materials vendor to many public libraries. Our experience, library services
and references clearly demonstrate our ability to meet the City of Scottsdale’s requirements for shelf-ready
processed library books.

From title selection to shipping and delivery, we'll take care of the details. Brodart’s team becomes
“your team” from start to finish helping ensure a successful outcome. We partner with you from the
start to evaluate your requirements and help define your specifications. Brodart recognizes that each
library is unique and that services should be tailored to meet your every need.

inventory & Operations
Brodart provides a comprehensive range of books necessary to meet public library needs. For the past 80

years, Brodart has been 100% focused on satisfying public library requirements. It is because of this effort that
all of our inventory and production processes are designed to meet the unique needs of public libraries. Our
distribution facility manages annual public library demand for over five million items from more than 50,000
publishers. Our inventory includes public library relevant English and Spanish new releases and retrospective
titles for adult and children, research and technical materials, large print and small press titles.

Brodart strives to maintain high levels of print material across all collections and with a depth of titles and
quantities to meet public library needs including opening day collections. Brodart orders from our
publishing partners on a daily basis for any title not in stock — we do not require minimum purchases in an
effort to order larger quantities from our publishing partners which can often result in delayed publisher
ordering and delivery. Because of our close proximity to the major publishers in New York and the
surrounding area we take pride in our ability to order and receive much faster than our competitors who
have warehouses further away. We also count on these relationships to ensure that our inventory is fully
supported in a timely manner.

Brodart's purchasing profiles are specially formulated to meet the needs of the public library market. We
order material from publishers daily to ensure our customers receive their orders quickly and efficiently.
Our state-of-the-art fulfillment system ensures rapid turnaround time for all titles. Because we have all
our resources centralized in one tocation, we can efficiently and effectively process, fill and ship orders.
Our algorithm for success allows us to deliver fill rates of greater than 98% for available titles.

Order Management
Brodart’s products and services are designed exclusively for libraries. Our experience and history

combined with new technology and evolving library practices allows us to continually enhance library
products and services. Our state-of-the-art Oracle system allows solutions for order management,
collection development, information access, account creation, cataloging, processing and reports. Our
order management process provides a complete package of services that can be customized to meet the
requirements in your request for proposal.

Collection Development Services

Whether you are building a new collection, rounding out an existing one, or trying to stay abreast of
forthcoming titles, you know that managing a library collection is a challenging and time-consuming task.
Brodart’s Collection Development Services can help. Our collection development team has the knowledge,
experience and customized tools to help you build and maintaina quality collection for your library.

City of Scottsdale RFP #21RP008 Brodart Co. Response Page 1

We understand the importance of receiving popular material as quickly as possible to fill the City of
Scottsdale’s Library patron demands; therefore, Brodart offers a number of selection tools and services to
assist the library to meet these needs. Since 1987, Brodart has provided many public libraries with
specialized Collection Development Services for both ongoing and opening day collection needs. Many of
our Collection Development Services such as TIPS® (profiled selection lists), FASTips® (standing orders),
Collection Builder® (customized selection lists) and vendor selection services are industry leaders.

Spanish Language Material

To meet the diverse needs of today’s multicultural society we offer expertly selected collections of Spanish
language materials. We currently offer approximately 73,000 Spanish language titles distributed by over 1,100
publishers, both domestic and off-shore. These include titles published originally in Spanish as well as
translations of English titles. Spanish titles are available fully cataloged and processed.

McNaughton Lease Plans

McNaughton has been predicting and leasing bestsellers to libraries around the world for nearly 70
years. As the first vendor to lease books to libraries we set the standards for leasing programs.
Living up to those standards is something we take seriously.

Staying up-to-date with the hottest releases and popular authors can be a complicated and time-
consuming task. That’s where McNaughton can help. Drawing from a successful history, our diverse
selection committee understands circulation demand and is widely recognized for our ability to predict
bestsellers.

We recognize that each library’s needs are different. Understanding how patrons use your library and
how you serve your patrons will help us create a subscription solution tailored to meet these needs. This
attention and dedication to personalized service is a large part of developing the many long- term
customer relations that have formed between Brodart and the libraries we service.

Purchase Plus Subscription Program

Brodart’s Purchase Plus Subscription Program is a convenient, easy way to build your collection. Plans
include Adult, Young Adult and Children’s for both hardcover and paperback. Purchase Plus provides a
collection of popular and bestselling material with new titles offered monthly in our annotated lists.
Purchase Plus can help you establish a popular reading program, enhance an existing collection, or
reduce your reserve list with multiple copies of high demand titles.

Bibz

Bibz, our online collection development and ordering tool, was designed by librarians for librarians! It
offers flexibility in searching, selection, list building and ordering. Rich title description for nearly five
million English-language and Spanish-language titles is available for searching and title display. Specialty or
custom-collection development lists are readily available for quick selection. Access to this powerful list-
building and ordering tool is provided at no charge for an unlimited amount of users in your organization,
inclusive of brief MARC on-order records with customization, access to full text reviews and full grid
ordering capability.

Cataloging and Processing
Once titles are ordered, we catalog and process your materials with book-in-hand to reflect your detailed
specifications. Brodart has developed our cataloging & processing services on a single platform which

a = ——— = at = aa ——]

enables libraries to choose the solution that best meets its expectations in terms of functionality and
price.

You may choose any combination of Brodart’s high-quality cataloging and processing options from this
service continuum to ensure you receive shelf-ready books designed to meet your library's needs.

© Brodart, the first cataloging service provider, introduced Starter cataloging and processing services
for libraries in 1958. Starter cataloging services are provided with our McNaughton Book Leasing
Service.

shelf-ready cataloging service in 1985, Compleat CAKRAA CAKE -

measured.

© Proving Brodart’s on-going commitment to being the
best supplier of shelf-ready print material in the
industry, in 2011 we launched Flex. Flex is yet
another first for the industry as it offers a modern
approach to cataloging that combines the benefits
of book-in-hand cataloging with the simplicity and
speed of an automated process. To this day this
service remains unmatched in the industry.

¢ In 2015 Brodart re-imagined its Compleat cataloging service to provide a best-in-class service that
maximizes the value of customer acquisitions, MARC and Collection Development data. Compeat
utilizes this data to drive intelligent book-in-hand cataloging and customization which ensures
customers will receive high quality and accurate shelf-ready material very quickly.

Customer Care

What sets Brodart apart from other vendors is our deep partnership with our customers. We deliver
unrivaled customer care throughout the setup, delivery and every-day process changes that occur in the
library over time. We offer a dedicated team of associates who provide top-quality customer support.
They are experts in their fields and in serving large and small public libraries across the country. Our
cataloging and collection development teams are led by MLS-degreed librarians.

Brodart’s long and successful history has built countless partnerships with libraries and enabled us to
provide the most experienced workforce in the industry. We deliver personalized service and are
committed to finding the most comprehensive and efficient solutions available.

The Transition Process: We’ve got Your Back!
Your library and patrons are important to us. We understand how daunting it can be to undertake a large-scale
transition. That’s why our process is designed to be as smooth and seamless as possible for you.

Collection Development & Selection Services

Creating the “ultimate collection” isn’t a small task. There are many factors to be considered. At
Brodart, we began providing collection development products and services in 1982. Many of our
Collection Development Services such as TIPS, FASTips, Collection Builder and vendor selection
services are industry leaders. We currently provide many public libraries with an array of specialized
Collection Development Services for both ongoing and opening day collection needs:

TIPS (Title Information Preview Service) Notification Program - delivers selection lists for new and
forthcoming titles. Choose from two service levels —

e Silver TIPS - every month receive free curated lists spanning an array of subjects and
age ranges. Choose the lists that interest you and they will be automatically posted to
your online account.

e Diamond TIPS - define your own collection categories. Set specific parameters and the lists
will be automatically posted to your online account. Customize as desired.

Standing Orders - whether it’s authors/series you can’t live without or staying current with annual
publications, our Collection Development team will monitor publication dates and automatically place
orders on your behalf. Save time on research, meet patron demand, and never miss an important
publication.

e FASTips (Frequent Author and Series TIPS) — this is a free service to our customers. Set your
preferences one time and receive your books automatically. You can edit your selections at
any time.

e Continuations — another free service to our customers, our standing order program for
true serials, such as test prep and travel guides, takes the hassle out of keeping up with
annual or irregular periodical publications.

Collection Builder — Build or refresh your collection with lists for relevant topics and events. Collection
Builders provide one-time targeted lists for special projects, collection enhancement or replacement
ordering.

Online Selection Lists - Brodart also has hundreds of specialty lists from which to choose. Not only
are the lists separated into age ranges and categories, they can also be filtered for custom searches
to make it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. Choose lists on Hot Topics, Awards, Graphic
Novels, Public Library Collection Builder, Spanish Titles and more.

All of our collection development lists are posted to Bibz, Brodart’s online ordering and
collection development tool. Following is a detailed description of all of our Collection Development

services.

TIPS® - Notification Program

TIPS (Title Information Preview Service) is designed to help your library streamline its ongoing
selection process. We identify new titles, gather all pertinent information on those titles, eliminate
duplicates, and present you with regular lists of new titles to consider for your collection.

Brodart Co. Response Page 5

City of Scottsdale RFP #21RP00.

These profile elements, chosen specifically to meet the needs of libraries, allow you either to create a
profile that mimics your current title identification and list-building process OR to explore new
approaches to the collection-building process. In other words, if you currently compile lists from
multiple journal reviews, we can do that for you. Or, if you would like to expand the number of
sources from which you draw titles, we can monitor new titles by publisher, series, author or
illustrator.

Two levels of TIPS are available to accommodate your specific needs. We do the legwork; you make
your selections.

Other sources such as starred reviews, bestseller lists, and Brodart programs can also be used for
FASTips automatic orders. Special collection areas that can be covered by FASTips include board
books, large print, browsing paperbacks, travel books and Spanish.

When setting up a FASTips profile the library first selects the authors, series, or other criteria desired.
Then other parameters are established for the automatic order including format (bind preference),
classification, age range, material types, and maximum price. The library also sets the timeframe for
ordering. Three months prepublication is the current standard.

Orders can be prepared by Brodart and delivered to the library via Bibz with grids applied for
branch, quantity, and other grid values. Brodart can submit the order via Bibz or share the list to
library staff for review and modification if needed. Orders can then be submitted by the library via
Bibz or downloaded as MARC files for import into Polaris for EDI ordering. After the orders are
submitted, they are visible with status information through the Order History tab of Bibz.

Continuations — Standing Orders for True Serials

Brodart's Continuations Service is designed to meet your complete reference and serial titles needs.

¢ Brodart's Continuations Service offers an Alternate Year Program, which can be tailored to
meet your library's needs. You may receive books as frequently or infrequently as desired.
¢ You may add new titles to your standing order or adjust existing orders at any time. Our
files are updated daily in order to provide you with prompt, accurate service.

¢ All cancellations are effective immediately upon receipt by the Continuations Department.

A monthly status report is supplied to you at no extra cost so you may quickly and effectively monitor
your standing orders. This report lists every series and serial on your standing order. Editions or
volumes on order or recently shipped titles are listed accordingly. Publications which are delayed by
the publisher show a status of "on order." Brodart's Continuations Department automatically
contacts the publisher for updated status information of "on order" materials to assure timely
delivery of these items.

As a Continuations customer, each month you will receive an electronic newsletter reporting the
latest updates in title/bind changes, series discontinued, series completed and items to be ordered
directly from the publisher. The newsletter keeps you informed about any changes that would affect
your standing order.

Taking advantage of Brodart's Continuations Service is easy. Simply list the titles to be ordered with
starting volumes, years or editions and the desired quantities. Once Brodart receives your standing
order titles we will set up your account and begin ordering the titles from the various publishers.

To make it easy to transfer to Brodart's Continuations Service, we will also send a cancellation notice
to your former supplier. You need only indicate in writing which titles are to be cancelled, your
account or purchase order number and the name of the supplier. The Continuations staff works with
your library during this transition period to assure a smooth transfer of all standing orders.

The Continuations Department personnel are dedicated professionals who are knowledgeable about
all aspects of the Continuations Service. They take pride in providing prompt and accurate responses
to any questions. Each library is assigned their own Continuations Consultant. That individual will
stay inclose contact with the responsible person at the library to ensure optimum service.

TitleQueue

TitleQueue.com, Brodart’s online Continuations tool, gives access to account details regarding
subscriptions to serials and series. You can search for titles and update subscription information to
add standing order titles or change current settings. You can also access order confirmations, report
claims and request additional copies of invoices. There are many search options, including ISBN,
title, series title and publisher.

Please note orders placed for items not in Brodart’s inventory are ordered immediately from the
appropriate publisher. Our order fulfillment system places orders with all publishers on a daily basis
via FTP or email. In order to provide the fastest possible service to our libraries, we do not require
minimum order quantities and we do not accumulate customer orders to meet a minimum order
quantity. This policy allows us to fill orders quickly and efficiently. Prepublication orders are
encouraged since this allows the materials to be sent to the library as soon as they are available from
the publishers.

In addition to the selection lists posted by Brodart, you can also create your own selection lists on Bibz.
You can search and access other relevant titles, build your own lists, select additional items for your
collections, and place orders online or through your Polaris acquisitions module. Our enhanced
features allow you to customize your display and manage user access and grid ordering. You can
conduct simple or advanced searches quickly and easily within Brodart’s title database of almost five
million records.

Additional Bibz Functionality

Sort sequence: Titles in search results and lists default to Title/Author sequence and can be resorted
according to your preference.

Duplicate checking: Bibz provides automatic duplicate checking against all your lists and orders. Icons
indicate whether the title is in another list or on a submitted order. In addition, these icons link directly to
Duplicate Detail screens. Duplicate check options are also available when adding a title to a list. The user can
set the preference for the level of duplicate checking (e.g. do not alert on duplication, check for duplicates in
the target list by ISBN, check for duplicates in all lists by ISBN, etc.). In addition to these features, it is also
possible to check duplicates for an entire list.

Library Holdings Interface: When viewing your selection lists through Bibz an “H” icon will serve as an
indication that the title is in the Library's public catalog. There are two types of holdings interfaces available
in Bibz:

e Smart Holdings Interface: If your Polaris system is Z39.50 enabled, “Smart Holdings” will
automatically search every title on your selection list and only display the Lal icon for ISBNs that have
been verified to be in your catalog. Clicking on the Icon will connect you to the title in your online
catalog.

e Classic Holdings Interface: If your ILS is not 239.50 enabled, clicking on the H Icon (Hl ) which
appears next to every title in Bibz will execute an ISBN search in your catalog and display the title
when found.

Grid Templates: Bibz allows predefined grid templates to be applied to a single title to as many as 100 titles
with a single click. These grid templates may have an unlimited number of order lines. Typically there would
be one order line per branch. The order lines can indicate location, collection, item type, and fund
information. A single list (aka cart) can contain up to 5,000 items and 50,000 order lines. Bibz Grid
Management will allow the library to create an unlimited number of grid templates at no charge.

Expenditure Reports: Generate expenditure reports by fund and location.

Administrative functions: Users can be designated as administrative or non- administrative. Administrative
users are empowered to:

e Create and remove users and assign new passwords

e Grant user access privileges for assignment of accounts/processing profiles, branches, and funds, as
well as order submission

e Create families and assign membership in those families

e Set grid values and create grid templates, assigning them to specific users

© System settings allow the interfacing to your Integrated Library System for holdings lookup

Brief on-order record options: Bibz.com provides brief on-order records with item level information th rough
the Download MARC Records function within a list.

Records may be downloaded for orders according to your needs. Save them to your local computer or deliver
to your ILS FTP site. Our flexible MARC mapping tool enables us to customize your on-order bibliographic
records and item records.

Brodart enters the accounts, processing profiles, and branch locations. The library would control the values
that are loaded for the grids for collection codes, item types, and funds. There is not a limit to the number of
funds that can be entered.

Order History: Access all of your orders submitted to Brodart, regardless of the order source. A summary is
provided indicating item status. Orders may be searched and sorted to provide quick reference of specific
details. Each order can be opened to show title level detail with current status information such as shipped, in
process, back ordered, cancelled, etc. (2) allows you to download brief MARC records for orders submitted
online.
