<strong>KeyNews</strong><br />
Welcome to the first edition of <strong>Library</strong> <strong>KeyNews</strong><br />
It is with great pleasure that I present our very first edition. The idea for this hard copy newsletter<br />
came through speaking to customers at events such as the recent Australian Law Librarians<br />
Association (ALLA) conference in Darwin. It was also our pleasure to assist launching<br />
The Evolution of the Australian Law Librarians’ Association book at this conference.<br />
I have been CEO of <strong>LexisNexis</strong> Pacific for 8 months now and have had the pleasure to meet with<br />
a large number of our customers across Australia. The insights we as an organisation gain from<br />
these conversations is valued and it helps us to ensure we deliver solutions that underpin the<br />
success of your organisation.<br />
There have been a number of exciting developments at <strong>LexisNexis</strong> this year and many more to<br />
come. I would also like to thank those that completed our recent customer survey which confirmed<br />
that usability and content on <strong>LexisNexis</strong> AU are most important to our customers; in turn we will<br />
continue to focus on making <strong>LexisNexis</strong> AU easier to use and enhance our content offering.<br />
I hope you find this newsletter interesting and informative, and we look forward to receiving<br />
your ongoing feedback.<br />
Kind regards,<br />

<strong>LexisNexis</strong>, has announced the global launch of InterAction ® IQ, a new tool that<br />

identify new or underutilised professional relationships. By providing a more clear,<br />
complete and actionable set of contact information, the technology improves<br />
business development activities for users.<br />
“The professional services industry globally is at a critical juncture, and the need<br />
to strategically understand business development has never been more important,”<br />
said Bill Wilshire, vice president and managing director of CRM/Analytics<br />
Solutions at <strong>LexisNexis</strong>. “InterAction IQ enables firm management to pinpoint<br />
key relationships and make better tactical and strategic decisions about how they<br />
manage those relationships.”<br />
InterAction software transforms internal knowledge into relationship intelligence<br />
through a four-step process of relationship discovery, relationship management,<br />
marketing automation, and knowledge delivery. Relationship intelligence represents<br />
internal, proprietary knowledge inaccessible to the outside world which can be<br />
used to uncover client needs to assist in new business development and to enhance<br />
client service.<br />
