Please join Emerald Group Publishing Inc. in celebrating the 
launch of its new eBook Collection at the ALA Midwinter Meeting 
in Denver. ALA attendees are invited to the Emerald booth (# 
2518) for cake and drinks on Friday, January 23, from 5:30 to 
7:30. Guitarist Dave DeMichelis will provide entertainment.

Emerald has also scheduled two sessions for attendees providing 
an orientation about the eBook series collections: Saturday, 
January 24, from 8:00 to 12:00, in the Curtis Hotel; and Sunday, 
January 25, from 8:00 to 12:00, in Room 608. Further information 
is available at ww2.emeraldinsight.com/ebookseries.

The Business, Management and Economics Collection includes 65 
series titles. Featuring titles from the highly regarded JAI 
imprint, the collection offers access to a selection of 380 
titles covering subjects such as strategy, accounting and 
finance, organizational studies and economics. The Social 
Sciences Collection complements and extends the current Emerald 
portfolio, with titles in sociology, education and psychology. 
This will add over 180 volumes across 37 series titles. Both with 
new content to be added each year.

In addition to the new collections, the Emerald Insight platform 
has a new feature allowing users to search and browse in 
different collections, including All Content, Journals, Books, 
Bibliographical Databases, and Site Pages. Users can browse both 
journal and book series content either alphabetically or by 
subject, and the type of content is clearly displayed. Coming 
soon to the book series content are COUNTER usage statistics, 
Rightslink, and Document Outline.

Meet the Editor sessions will be held on the Emerald booth: 
Saturday, January 24, from 10:00 to 11:00 with Steve O' Connor, 
Library Management; Sunday, January 25, from 10:00 to 11:00 with 
Eleanor Mitchell and Sarah Watstein, Reference Services Review 
and 1.00 to 1.30 with Kay Ann Cassell, Collection Building.
