Meet the Editors

ITI Bloggers April 9th, 2008

The turnout for the Cybertour "Meet the Editors" wasn’t terrific, although the panel was stellar: Barbara Brynko (Information Today), Barbara Quint (Searcher, present by phone), Dick Kaser (Computers in Libraries), Bob Berkman (Information Advisor), Paula Hane (NewsBureau Chief) and me (ONLINE). We each explained what our publications are all about, then got into a discussion with the audience about their needs. Information literacy was a biggie, as was finding the means to pay for premium content databases. Product comparisons are also important to our readers. If you weren’t able to attend the session (or didn’t know it was happening), let us know what you’d like the pubs to be doing by emailing the editors or leaving a blog comment to this post. And we’re always interested in publishing articles written by practitioners, so if you’ve got an idea, let us know about that as well.
