Academic and professional literature publisher Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., UK, has announced that it will launch its eBook series collections at the forthcoming American Library Association Meeting and mark the first anniversary of the acquisition of the Elsevier books and book series undertaken a year ago. The American Library Association meeting will be held from January 23-25 in Denver, Colorado.
The Business, Management and Economics Collection includes 65 series titles. Featuring titles from the highly regarded JAI imprint, the collection offers access to a selection of 380 titles covering subjects such as strategy, accounting and finance, organisational studies and economics. The Social Sciences Collection complements and extends the current Emerald portfolio, with titles in sociology, education and psychology. This will add over 180 volumes across 37 series titles. Both collections offer international content from a worldwide author base, with new content to be added each year.
In addition to the new collections, the Emerald Insight platform has a new feature allowing users to search and browse in different collections, including All Content, Journals, Books, Bibliographical Databases, and Site Pages. Users can browse both journal and book series content either alphabetically or by subject, and the type of content is clearly displayed. Coming soon to the book series content are COUNTER usage statistics, Rightslink, and Document Outline.
