Burgundy
Information Services, formed in 2007, is the brainchild of Nancy
Buckley, former International Sales Director at Blackwell
Publishing. Nancy recognized that no other subscription agency or
marketing company was offering truly proactive field sales to small
and medium sized publishers in Europe. She
is the founder and chair of the United Kingdom Serials Group (UKSG)
'Transfer' project, which aims to develop a code of practice for the
transferring of journal titles between publishers.In addition, she is Treasurer of the UKSG. Nancy is also a
trained librarian.

Calow joined Burgundy Information Services in March 2008. He is
responsible for developing sales to academic and commercial
libraries, negotiating site licenses for access to online content,
and promoting the migration from print to online on behalf of
Burgundy's numerous publishing partners. Paul has worked within the
scholarly and electronic publishing environment for more than ten
years, most recently at Wiley-Blackwell where he was the Regional
Sales Director responsible for managing the company's relationships
with consortia and libraries throughout Northern and Western Europe
and Africa. Paul is an active member of the UKSG's Education
Sub-Committee.
April
2008 saw Helen Cooke join Burgundy Information Services, working
with Nancy and Paul on Burgundy's growing list of Publishing
partners and Library customers. Helen's previous roles at Sage
Publications and Blackwell Publishing have seen her develop
consortia strategies across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. She

library sales team and was actively involved with their negotiation
