The course will be business-centric - clearly positioning technologies in the context of the industry issues they aim to solve. Participants will learn how technology is used throughout the delivery of eJournals from publisher via library to the end-user.

This course is aimed at sales, marketing and customer service staff of all levels, senior management who need a refresher course and new technical hires from outside the industry. This course covers technologies that are vital to the delivery of eJournals and therefore need to be widely understood by all departments within the publishing business.
