Blackwell Now an Active WorldCat Selection Service Partner
WorldCat Selection subscribers can now receive notification records for Blackwell Book Services materials within the WorldCat Selection interface.
WorldCat Selection, based on ITSO CUL (Integrated Tool for Selection and Ordering at Cornell University Library), allows selectors of library materials to view new title data from multiple materials vendors in one central, comprehensive system. Libraries are able to get WorldCat records for newly selected materials into their integrated library systems early in the technical services process, as well as share selection decisions with others in their institutions.
For 128 years, Blackwell has supplied academic and research libraries with books and bibliographic support. Blackwell aims to help its customers keep the costs of identifying and acquiring materials, both print and electronic, as low as possible. Blackwell’s services, tools, and partnerships reflect their commitment to creating efficient library workflow solutions. Blackwell has offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Australia. It is their mission to be the partner of choice in building library collections. Blackwell accomplishes this by providing innovative responses and solutions to the rapidly changing ways in which information is published, distributed, and accessed. To contact Blackwell, write to custserv@blackwell.com. Find out more about Blackwell: http://www.blackwell.com/.
