| Our institution is considering changing our approval plan profile with Blackwell North America to "paperback preferred".  Notwithstanding the obvious differences, I would like to poll PADG to ask the following: Which institutions have gone paperback preferred?   What was the reason for doing/not  doing so? How have you evaluated your success/failure in this decision? What types of measurement(s) have you used?  Has it varied among the disciplines?  Any other comments welcomed. Many thanks Sophia K.
