Moving to the Online-Only Journal: Breaking Free of Print Constraints

 

If you are considering moving your publications to an “online-only” format, this full-day seminar will explore the issues that will arise and the opportunities that become available when you break away from the print-based medium. The speakers will address concerns about eliminating print, including:

·         Protecting advertising revenue

·         Converting print subscribers to online readers (including those who receive print as a member benefit)

·         Managing challenges of archiving

·         Developing pricing strategies

The seminar speakers, who represent publishers breaking new ground in the online presentation of content, will provide examples of their features, discuss issues related to continuous publication, and examine the expanded and creative use of linking and videos.
