By: Publishing Technology A long-standing ingentaconnect customer, BRILL will continue its eleven-year partnership with Publishing Technology as it upgrades its online hosting solution to the pub2web platform. The portal - a custom site, designed and built to host and deliver any type of content - will integrate BRILL’s journal and book content within a single resource for the first time. BRILL anticipates that the new website, which at launch will host approximately 110,000 journal articles and 25,000 book chapters, will become a trusted tool for students, researchers and teachers; a tool that will excel in the discovery and delivery of online content through one central portal. The state-of-the- Sam Bruinsma, Director of Business Development, BRILL, commented: “BRILL is proud to extend its partnership with Publishing Technology with our new venture. Publishing Technology is our trusted partner, who we know are the experts in handling journal and book content, and with them we are guaranteed a platform that complies with industry standards and is flexible enough to support our current and future needs.
