Scientific and technology publishing Woodhead Publishing, UK, has announced the launch of its online platform Woodhead Publishing Online. MetaPress, a web hosting platform service for STM content, is the host provider for the site.
Launched at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2010, Woodhead Publishing Online is a new resource of scientific, technical and information trends, comprising over 800 e-books, containing 12,000 chapters in Materials and Engineering, Food Science Technology and Nutrition, Textile Technology, Energy and Environmental Technology, and Finance, Commodities and Business Studies and Mathematics. Designed and created after thorough research amongst librarians and end users, the site offers extensive features and functionality and claims to be the only platform to offer the complete Woodhead Publishing platform in one place.
Initially launched with Food Science Technology and Nutrition, Textile Technology, and Materials and Engineering collections, these will be followed in early 2011 with Energy and Environmental Technology, Finance, Commodities, Business Studies and Mathematics. The next phase will be a separate site for the entire catalogue of Chandos Publishing, the publisher of books on library and information management which Woodhead acquired in 2009.
