Hi
I hope this will be of interest to the list. Apologies for cross-posting.
Emerald Group Publishing is pleased to announce the UK launch of Emerald
Backfiles at the UKSG Conference and Exhibition 2008, to be held at the
Riviera International Conference Centre, Torquay, UK, 7-9 April, Booth
number 46. Emerald is releasing the digitization of the full archive of
its journal titles in business, management, library and information
services, materials science, and engineering. Working with the British
Library, more than 60,000 articles, some going back to the 1800s, are now
in PDF format and available electronically for the first time.
Visitors are invited to celebrate the launch of Emerald Backfiles with a
series of events taking place during the Conference. On Monday, 7 April,
at 4 pm in the Arena, Emerald representatives will give a presentation of
Emerald’s current range of journal collections and answer your questions.
Following this, on Monday, 7 April, at 5.45 pm, Emerald will be hosting an
Emerald Backfiles launch party, by invitation only, aboard the
yacht “Grand Lady” in Torquay Harbour.
Throughout the Conference, delegates will have an opportunity to take part
in our Emerald Backfiles competition quiz by visiting the Emerald booth,
for the chance to win a bottle of champagne.
Also on show will be Emerald’s flagship product, Emerald Management Xtra,
the largest, most comprehensive online collection of peer-reviewed
management journals, created to meet the needs of educators, students,
researchers and information professionals working in the business
community. Emerald representatives will also be on hand to discuss
