because it offers so many opportunities for service to my colleagues in academic libraries.

“I spent 16 years in an academic library where I experienced firsthand the complexities of serials management, the challenges of collection development and the great demands placed on academic librarians.

At EBSCO I’ve found a significant way to put that experience to work for our customers.

“I’m an Account Services Manager, a position that’s unique to EBSCO in the serials subscription business. It’s my job to see that you get all the help you need from EBSCO to manage your serials responsibilities effectively. So I listen… I advise… and I solve problems.

“Like my counterparts in EBSCO Regional Offices across the country, I work with the other members of your serials support group—the EBSCO Sales Representative, General Manager and Customer Service Representative—to ensure that the routine aspects of your subscription program are handled promptly and efficiently. But I’m also available to help with the more sophisticated, non-routine needs you might havelike customized budget analysis reports, collection development reports, training seminars, reviews of services provided and of others available through EBSCO… whatever your special needs may be.”

LeeKetcham, MLS Account Services Manager

At EBSCO, we think academic librarians deserve qualified personnel who know and understand the challenges they face. Isn’t that what you expect from a professional subscription agency?
