While we specialize in the creation and oversight of large online publishing projects, our team has experience in many discrete areas. We can prove valuable team players for an ongoing project, or round out a team that’s temporarily short of a few staff members. A number of OBS people have been in publishing for twenty and thirty years, and can provide valuable consultation on many types of projects.
We offer the following services:
- Management consultation
- Worldwide presentations and workshops
- Creative consultation
- Business model development
- Content management
- Education and training
- Editorial services
- Content Engineering
- Information design and graphic design
- Quality-assurance testing and documentation
- Online marketing
- Identification of reliable managed hosts
- Production management
The only way to find out if our experience answers your need is to e-mail or call. No commitment is necessary, and your inquiry will be treated with respect and confidentiality.
Academic Presentations
Universities around the world seek our “imagineering” as well as our online engineering skills, and regularly invite OBS president Laura Fillmore to present and otherwise explore with them how the metamorphosis from print to online affects us, from both a business and an academic point of view. A selected list of engagements:
- University of Switzerland, Berne, presented paper, “Beyond the Copy-Based Publishing Model: Distance Learning and Applied Publications”
- University of Austria, Graz, presented paper, “Internet: Literacy’s Last Best Hope”
- University of Texas, Austin, presented paper, “Slaves of a New Machine”
- University of Transylvania, Brasov, Romania, presented paper, “The Living Library: Internet Employment Opportunities for Romanians”
- New York University Publishing Program, Presenter
- George Washington University Publishing program, Presenter and Advisory Board Member
- Emerson College Writing and Publishing program, Adjunct Professor
- National Association for Independent Schools (NAIS), presented paper, “Database Publishing for Schools”
- University of Vermont, presented paper, “Business Applications of the Internet”
- Brown University, presented paper, “Art and Life: Vampires on the Net”
Living “out loud” online on the recorded global network could open the doors to a new meritocracy of mind, or prove an Orwellian nightmare. We believe that a collaborative and ongoing dialogue between the academic and business communities is essential to making our evolution online a positive and enriching development that serves us all.
