At Elsevier, Library Relations is an integrated part of our efforts in sales,
marketing, product development and policy making. The Elsevier Library
Advisory Boards in Europe and North America have long served as important
forums for dialog and action. More recently, our product groups have
established “Development Partners” programs which bring more librarians'
voices to the mix. Elsevier also fosters library communications via Library
Connect publications and seminars. Elsevier staff from all parts of the
company including strategy, sales, product and marketing are engaged in
discussion of industry issues at library conferences and events.
A familiar face at library events as well as a familiar voice on library
listservs is Daviess Menefee, Director of Library Relations.
