長久以來,圖書館與圖書供應商間即存在著價格的迷思與落差,圖書代理商講求利潤,而圖書館由於經費有限,書刊資料的費用高漲,則以價格為選擇圖書供應商的標準,而近幾年國內政府採購業務為避免圖利廠商之嫌,超過一定金額的採購案,則須以招標為選擇供應商的方法,招標方式也是不離價格為書商選擇的主要因素。筆者鑑於實際的圖書採購經驗,發現行銷的夥伴關係管理適可為此一難題提供一解決方案,因此,以文獻探討的方式,探究夥伴關係應用於圖書館圖書採購業務的理念與實務效益,並提出結論與建議等淺見,以供圖書館界圖書採購實務的另一思考模式。研究結論為,圖書館應以整體服務品質為評選廠商的標準,在合作(約)期間並將合作廠商列為圖書館服務品質管理的一員,且須持續改善、充分溝通、互相了解、彼此配合、信守承諾,以提高圖書採購的效益。
