Daniel Halloran has been named president and CEO of Blackwell's Book Services, the global library bookselling division of the U.K.'s Oxford-based Blackwell Ltd. Halloran succeeds Fred Philipp, who is moving to take over the management of Blackwell's Information Services offices in New York, before his planned retirement in 2000. Halloran, who worked briefly for Blackwell North America, founded Academic Book Center in 1975; Blackwell's completed the acquisition of Academic earlier this month.
Halloran will be based at BBS's headquarters in Lake Oswego, Ore., and will report to Anthony Thompson, chief executive of Blackwell Ltd. For the immediate future, Academic will continue to serve customers out of its Portland facility.
