United Nations chooses Publishing Technology's digital publishing platform

Publishing Technology’s pub2web platform will be used to build the United Nations eCollection.

The United Nations eCollection will be built on a custom interface on the pub2web platform that will allow cross searching, discovery and sales via pay-per-view or by subscription for over 1,500 publications produced by the international organisation, and all new and forthcoming titles, including e-books, reports, periodicals and selected grey literature.

Valentina Kalk in the Department of Public Information of the United Nations commented, ‘Delivering a wealth of titles and serial publications to our readers worldwide via a single multilingual online platform is very exciting. It is increasingly important that we make information more discoverable and searchable in the easiest and most environmentally-friendly ways possible. Publishing Technology has the expertise to deliver this for us and we very much look forward to working with them in this venture.’
