Australian & New Zealand ebook content acquisition role

Picture
ProQuest has engaged Rachael McDiarmid (RM Marketing Services) to work with ANZ publishers to help them with their ebook sales in the global academic library market. Rachael will be working with new sign-ups and existing publishing partners to ensure their participation in the most appropriate models.

Rachael says:

I'm actually really proud of coming on board as ANZ publisher relations consultant (P/T) with Proquest. As Publisher Relations Manager at James Bennett for 11 years I was involved with ebook content acquisition and working with publishing clients on sales and marketing initiatives across multiple platforms.  I worked closely with our owners during this period - Blackwell Library Services (UK and US) and then with Baker & Taylor/YBP after the company was sold to them in December 2009 - and I enjoyed working with the content acquisition and publisher services teams in particular. 

I feel like I've almost come full circle. James Bennett/Blackwell was an early vendor for EBL (2004) and post the company sale to B&T/YBP I worked with the Ebrary team in the U.S. Both are now part of Proquest (as is MyiLibrary) so I feel like I'm among "my people". I'm looking forward to working with Australian and New Zealand publishers on the best models in the Proquest platforms and ensuring their content is available to libraries, particularly academic libraries, locally and internationally.

RM Marketing Services will be working 10 hours a week with ANZ publishers for Proquest.

Recommendations

There are few aspects of the publishing industry that Rachael McDiarmid hasn’t thought about in her career in books and publishing. I had the benefit of her insights as a colleague at Frankfurt Book Fair over a number of years, and trusted her to give me advice about our interest in finding meaningful direct contact with libraries and schools, an entirely new area for UWA Publishing. I would have followed up with additional small projects at the time had Rachael not moved into a new position in publishing. Back out in her own right again, I thoroughly recommend her for her insights and intelligent analysis. Rachael is trustworthy and smart, and thus a great asset to those of us working in the publishing trade."
