ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL DIGEST SERIALST Commercial Digest pilot project: Since June 2008, the SERIALST moderators have been experimenting with compiling and distributing a Commercial Digest once a week, on Friday afternoons, with messages containing informational content from commercial bodies (i.e., publishers, vendors, agents, etc.). The moderators review submitted messages for informational content that may interest our subscribers. We reserve the right to reject messages that are purely for advertising or product/service solicitation, with little or no informational content beyond the solicitation, as well as other content that are not within the scope and purpose guidelines of SERIALST (see: http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn/serialst.html) If you have thoughts or feedback about the Commercial digest, or other aspects of SERIALST, please let us hear from you. Contact information for the SERIALST moderators is at: http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn/serialst.html#contacts This week's digest contains 3 messages: 1. Emerald launches eBook Collection at ALA in Denver 2. Upcoming SOLINET live online classes 3. Join Duke Press and ebrary for a celebration at ALA Midwinter 1. We thought this might be of interest to readers of SERIALST who are going to the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver this month. Best wishes, Janet Fisher PCG Cambridge, MA, January 9, 2009 - Emerald Group Publishing Inc. will launch its eBook series collections at the American Library Association Meeting in Denver, Colorado, January 23-25, and mark the first anniversary of the acquisition of the Elsevier books and book series undertaken a year ago.
