Rather than working with hundreds of individual publishers, ranging from the esoteric to the mainstream, you need only contact Blackwell to acquire all of the titles your collection needs. Our standing order specialists utilize Blackwells’ close relationship with publishers worldwide to review and update over 100,000 active series titles, providing the most accurate information possible. Best of all, our specialists will work with you to customize our service to fit your workflow.
Blackwell series database includes more than 200,000 series records with over 90,000 active series for titles published or distributed worldwide. We supply a wide variety of series publications:
Entries are added or revised in response to the receipt of a book, as well as new information received from publishers and authoritative bibliographic sources. All standing order entries are prepared in the format prescribed by the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2).
Daily contact with publishers enables Blackwell to immediately inform you of bibliographic and publication changes regarding your standing orders, such as title changes and revised due dates. Our system also allows us to monitor receipts, frequency, and publication history for each series. This ensures that you will always receive new volumes or status reports in a timely fashion. For your convenience, we maintain records on discontinued series and will notify you of reactivated titles as well.
Blackwell can provide announcement slips for select series upon publication. Slips will prove useful if certain series are ancillary to your collection, but of sufficient interest to warrant review. For applicable series, we can send an announcement slip as each subsequent volume is published. If you decide to purchase the book, a page of the slip can serve as your order.
Blackwell makes it easy to transfer your standing orders, whether they are direct with publishers or through another bookseller. Simply provide us with a list of the standing orders, including order number, title, publisher, source (if other than publisher), start volume, and quantity along with a library cancellation notice on your letterhead with an authorized signature. We will handle the rest.
