Information and publishing services provider Ingenta, UK, a division of Publishing Technology plc, recently announced the appointment of Jeff Downing as Manager, Library Relations. Downing will join the company in February and will pursue opportunities for the company's suite of integrated library services. With this appointment, the company seeks to strengthen its sales presence and strategic focus in the North American library market.
Downing joins Ingenta from Amigos Library Services where he was most recently Associate Director and Manager, Electronic Information Services, a role with responsibilities including North American marketing and sales of scholarly aggregation databases including BioOne.
Ingenta's flagship website, IngentaConnect, provides over 25,000 libraries with access to over 31,000 publications via subscription and document delivery. Publishers can opt to apply their own brand to their pages of the site using the IngentabyDesign service. Also, they can upgrade to their own pub2web publications platform, which shares some IngentaConnect technical architecture but offers publishers full control over design and content structure. Library services were streamlined during 2007 with new features being added to the standard free-to-use package.
