    Chandos Publishing, a leading library and information science publishing company based in Oxford UK, (and an imprint of Woodhead Publishing Limited) is pleased to announce the launch of its e-book platform Chandos Publishing Online. MetaPress is the host provider for the site.

    Chandos Publishing Online (www.chandospublishingonline.com) is a new electronic resource of library and information science, knowledge management and business information trends comprising over 200 e-books. Designed and created after thorough research amongst librarians and end users, the site is the first and only platform to offer the complete Chandos Publishing catalogue in one place.

    The site offers advanced features and functionality, such as fast and powerful search tools, extensive librarian support tools and personalisation features including fully customisable RSS feeds. A range of innovative purchasing options are also available including a Pick ‘N’ Mix option. Initially launched with Information Management and Library Management collections, these will be followed later in 2012 with Asian Studies.

    Commenting on the launch, Dr. Glyn Jones, Publisher, said “Chandos Publishing titles have never been available before as e-books, and we are delighted to be launching this extensive and comprehensive platform with which we are pleased to have partnered with MetaPress in its development and delivery. We look forward to working with them to further advance the strong features that Chandos Publishing Online already offers.”
