Adding value for society members - develop your publishing programme
Chair: Mike Rodd, British Computer Society
Friday 7 July 2006 (0900 - 1245)
www.alpsp.org/events/2006/AVS/default.htm
This seminar will discuss the broader membership benefits that a society's
publishing activities can offer its membership. Traditionally these include
direct benefits such as offering publications and information at reduced
prices and using publishing revenue to support the wider aims of the society
through activities such as education and research. During a time of
unprecedented change in the publishing environment, developing the range of
publishing services and benefits offered to members can benefit a society
not only in terms of revenue earned but also by encouraging membership and
improving the standing of the speciality. The speakers will discuss the
direct benefits which can be offered but also explore the wider
possibilities of providing new ways of communicating with a society's
members, such as enhanced web sites tailored for members, membership portals
and connections to discussion forums. It also looks at wider issues such as
the value of forming strategic alliances and cooperative ventures.
Who should attend? Publishing Managers, Information Officers, Membership
Secretaries and Executive Secretaries from both small and large learned
societies who need to plan strategically for the longer term.
