SAN FRANCISCO, CA – 15 June 2010 – The International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) launched Discovery (http://discovery.iabc.com), its new online content library at the 2010 World Conference in Toronto last week. Available exclusively to IABC members, Discovery aggregates IABC’s collection of content all in one place, providing members with a powerful tool to access the information they need quickly and efficiently.
At the complimentary member level, members will have access to Communication World and CW Bulletin articles, select Research Foundation reports, Knowledge Centre resources, and more. At the premium level, members will have access to Gold Quill Award-winning case studies; Knowledge Centre manuals, books and communication templates; and all research reports. Yearly premium subscriptions are only US$99, about half the cost of one Knowledge Centre manual. For a limited time, IABC members can get premium content for the low introductory rate of US$75.
According to Natasha Nicholson, vice president of publishing at IABC, “Discover unwraps IABC’s amazing depth of content, making access quick and easy. Members get more free content and thousands of dollars of value for an incredibly affordable price.”
More than just a content library, Discovery helps users navigate a vast array of resources to find the information they need. As you are researching a topic, Discovery thinks for you, creating a tag cloud based on your search terms, giving you the option to delve deeper into an issue to find unexpected answers.
“Discovery is in essence search turned inside out,” says Chris Hall, senior vice president of operations and chief information officer at IABC. “Its automatically generated titles list and context-sensitive tag cloud will enable our members to spend less time searching and more time discovering IABC’s reliable content."
