I'm currently an Online Editor, responsible for the online and CD publication of a number of legal sources. The main tasks include managing the reporting processes between a number of departments, thorough online checking process including site functionality review, handle enquiries from subscribers and other customers and supporting editorial department with various tools and functions. |
| I recently completed a 6 month secondment to the Content Systems department as a Content Analyst which included; managing the helpdesk portal and assisting with a wide range of queries from internal and external customers, managing the conversion of the PDF and RTF files to XML with external partners for a number of high profile titles and providing eMedia services inclusion a video for a conference demonstrating the services offered by the department and an interactive game based on tax. |
| Before I joined Lexis Nexis Butterworths I was employed by SAGE Publications Ltd. as the Senior Electronic Projects Executive. I managed the electronic publishing programme for the UK office with the help of an assistant. As well as their extensive journal collection, they also have an electronic books programme. The position was heavily centred around advising the department on electronic policy and products as well as being a company wide recourse for electronic books and journals. In an effort to assist interdepartmental communications, I was also required to act as a liaison between the Editorial, Marketing, Production and our IT department. |
