Journal subscription services provider EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO), US, has announced that following the recent success of its first wave of Open Days during the last two months, it will continue the 30-event series through November 2009, in major cities across Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia.
These EBSCO-sponsored Open Days provide a convenient and beneficial communications exchange platform for all involved in the information supply chain - especially library directors, librarians, academic information managers, e-resources managers, serials and e-books acquisition specialists and corporate information professionals. As well, the Open Day series provides publishers exhibitor opportunities in which to share their e-content product information with attendees. A couple of publishers who have elected to exhibit during various Open Days include SAGE Publications, Ltd. and Project MUSE.
With numerous meeting, seminar and workshop options, attendees will have access to a multitude of topics relevant to the information services industry, such as industry trends, experiences and best practices, and products and services. EBSCO will also offer information and on-site demonstrations on the wide range of time - and cost-saving solutions that it offers. These include E-Package Renewals on EBSCONET; EBSCO Discovery Service; EBSCOhost Integrated Search; and the forthcoming ERM Essentials.
