Press Release: 19th October 2010
U.K.-based publisher training company Renew Training has recently announced
its plan to take its highly successful "Understanding E-Journal Technology"
event to the U.S.
Renew Training is a specialist publisher-training organization operated by
Simon Inger and Tracy Gardner. It is offering a one-day course designed to
provide managers, service and production staff with a comprehensive
understanding of how e-journal technologies have evolved and how they impact
publishing decisions, processes, and results. Says Tracy Gardner, partner
"Renew Training has been delivering this course in the U.K. for nearly four
years. We've received uniformly positive feedback about our unique approach.
Now, growing demand from U.S. scholarly publishers has encouraged us to
broaden our reach".
The course covers topics such as OpenURL, web-scale discovery, DOIs,
authentication systems (including Athens and Shibboleth) article linking and
much more. It describes how librarians help researchers find content and
gives some ideas as to how publishers should react to these initiatives.
Simon Inger, partner said "there is no other event available that gives such
a comprehensive overview of e-journal technology from a business
perspective. Our course really equips attendees with knowledge that they
can put into practice as soon as they get back in the office."
The event will be held for one-day only in each of Washington, D.C. and New
York in March 2011. Dates and venues will be announced.
