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) <http://www.uvm.edu/%7Ebmaclenn/serialst.html%29> 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 <http://www.uvm.edu/%7Ebmaclenn/serialst.html#contacts> This week's digest contains 2 messages: 1) Professional Engineering Publishing Customers Receive Free Online Access to new IMechE Journals Collection until end of 2008 2) Emerald at Charleston Conference ---------- Message 1: Subject: Professional Engineering Publishing Customers Receive Free Online Access to new IMechE Journals Collection until end of 2008 From: "Mark Lord" <markl@pepublishing.com> Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:05:35 -0000 NEWS RELEASE: 28 October 2008 Professional Engineering Publishing Customers Receive Free Online Access to new IMechE Journals Collection until end of 2008 To celebrate the launch of the IMechE Journals Collection, for the remainder of 2008 all current customers of Professional Engineering Publishing (PE Publishing) will receive free access to all journal and archive content within the new IMechE Journals Collection.
