Mark,
We hope everyone had a good holiday season, personally and professionally.  This week, we've got a stack of new catalogs available (Random House, Workman, Hachette, and Fordham University.)  In addition, we're ready to implement the system enhancements we've been telling you about.  See the item in this email for more information.

Also, would like to remind all the Retailers and Readers out there that we offer twice weekly webex-based demo's.  Check here for more info and to sign up.

Tip of the Week: List View Navigation
We recently made a couple of small navigational changes that we think you'll like:
  • Now, when you "jump to" a title in the List View, you remain in the List View instead of switching to the Title Detail page.  Accordingly, if you "jump to" while on a Title Detail page, you land in Title Detail as well.
  • When you go from the List View to the Title Detail page to see more info on a title and then go back to the List View, the system now returns you to the title you were viewing within the List View.

Edelweiss Upgrade in Place This Week
As we've been telling you, we recently developed a number of Edelweiss enhancements related to simplifying the system navigation and the overall user experience.  This was the top request in our survey of user needs and we've been listening!  These enhancements have been bundled into the upgrade that many of you have been testing over the past few weeks.  Feedback has been very positive, so we'll be implementing these changes later this week.

If you haven't had a chance to try it out, don't worry - the main goal of these changes is to simplify and streamline.  Based on feedback from our testers (thanks, guys!) we're confident you will find this upgrade to Edelweiss easier to use and more intuitive.  As always, contact us if you have questions or suggestions.

For a summary of the system changes, Retailers & Readers check here and Publishers check here.
