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: * New version of Emerald Management First at SLA, June 14-17 (Janet Fisher) * Emerald signs agreement with FEDLINK (Janet Fisher) --------------------- Message #1: Subject: New version of Emerald Management First at SLA, June 14-17 From: "Janet Fisher" <jfisher@pcgplus.com> Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 12:09:11 -0400 New version of Emerald Management First on display at SLA, Washington, DC, June 14-17, booth #528 Boston, MA, June 2009 - Delegates at the Special Libraries Association's Annual Conference, Washington, DC, June 14-17, 2009, are invited to visit Emerald Booth # 528 to find out more about the latest enhancements to the award-winning Emerald Management First, http://first.emeraldinsight.com Donna Reynolds, Business Development Account Manager Corporate and Federal US & Caribbean, and John Eggleton, New Business Development Manager, will be available at the booth throughout the Conference to answer questions regarding Emerald Management First and other products.
