The all new Charleston Briefings will be a series of short books (12,000 to 20,000 words) on the topic of innovation in the world of libraries and scholarly communication. The default format for the Briefings is an open access, online e-book. We will be using Michigan Publishing’s e-book hosting platform to provide online access. We will also offer the customer the option to purchase a Kindle, iBook or print-on-demand version.
The audience for the Briefings is the same audience that attends the Charleston Conference: librarians, publishers, entrepreneurs in information technology, vendors and consultants. The series will offer timely, readable, and focused treatments of topics of significance to practitioners in these fields. The purpose of the series is to offer the reader a useful overview that will allow them to engage more effectively with new trends and innovations in their industry.
The Charleston Briefings are the first service being developed under the umbrella of ATG Media that will be in addition to the Charleston Conference and Against the Grain. ATG Media is a wholly owned subsidiary of ATG, LLC.
