Blackwell’s News<br />
Building on our Expertise<br />
Blackwell’s Welcomes…<br />
Since the beginning of the year, Blackwell’s has welcomed<br />
a number of key <strong>new</strong> personnel who bring a wealth<br />
of industry knowledge <strong>and</strong> experience to add to our<br />
company’s expertise in the library services sector <strong>and</strong><br />
further consolidate our on-going service developments.<br />
Wilf Mulliner joined our Senior<br />
Management Team earlier in the year as<br />
Supply Chain Manager. Responsible for<br />
our warehouse processes from receipt<br />
of books, to cataloguing <strong>and</strong> physical<br />
processing, through to invoicing,<br />
packing, despatch <strong>and</strong> delivery. Wilf has<br />
a broad industry background <strong>and</strong> the<br />
changes he has implemented since his arrival have already<br />
resulted in improvements to service levels <strong>and</strong> supply times.<br />
Neil MacKinnon started with us in June<br />
as our Technical Services Librarian.<br />
Neil’s principal professional interest<br />
is cataloguing <strong>and</strong> his career spans<br />
technical services in academic <strong>and</strong><br />
public libraries with senior posts with<br />
library system suppliers, SirsiDynix<br />
<strong>and</strong> Ex Libris. Working with special<br />
<strong>and</strong> academic libraries in Europe <strong>and</strong> the UK in library<br />
system support, project planning, system implementation,<br />
training <strong>and</strong> software development, he is well placed to<br />
underst<strong>and</strong> the challenges libraries currently face.<br />
Isabelle Staunton started in mid July as<br />
our Continuations Manager <strong>and</strong> brings<br />
with her many years’ experience as Head<br />
of Approval Plan <strong>and</strong> New Title Services<br />
with Erasmus, Paris. Her considerable<br />
knowledge of the library services<br />
industry across approvals, st<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
order <strong>and</strong> journal supply, together with<br />
a strong customer services <strong>and</strong> key account management<br />
focus further strengthens our management team.<br />
Henry Gott continues in his role as UK<br />
Account Manager <strong>and</strong> has also taken on<br />
the role of eBook Specialist for us. Henry<br />
has a strong academic <strong>and</strong> industry<br />
background with a PhD in English <strong>and</strong><br />
Comparative Literary Studies from<br />
Warwick University <strong>and</strong> ten years’<br />
bookselling experience. Henry is looking<br />
forward to working with our library customers on their<br />
eBook acquisition processes <strong>and</strong> requirements.<br />
Collection Manager<br />
Enhancements<br />
May saw the release of a number of <strong>new</strong> Collection<br />
Manager developments, designed to improve both<br />
functionality <strong>and</strong> appearance. The benefits include:<br />
Improved Searching<br />
• Extended search filters<br />
• An increased search limit, raised from 1,000 to<br />
4,000 records<br />
• Deeper access to bibliographic content<br />
• Bread crumbs for retracing previous searches<br />
Faster Results<br />
• New powerful search engine enabling faster results<br />
on searches<br />
• Fast faceted search capability – search results will<br />
show associated number of results that can be<br />
displayed<br />
New Look<br />
• Cleaner search display – including clear ‘hover’<br />
functionality indicators<br />
• Jacket images where available<br />
• Easier to navigate <strong>and</strong> revise search parameters<br />
We hope you’ll agree that these <strong>new</strong> enhancements<br />
provide a much improved intuitive user experience <strong>and</strong><br />
would welcome your feedback.<br />

thereby encourage further research<br />
into this vital topic. It investigates its<br />
subject through the lens of a wide<br />
variety of disciplines <strong>and</strong> explores the<br />
ramifications of theism considered as<br />
a way of life as well as an intellectual<br />
conviction.<br />
