CHRIS OLSON writes “Emerald Group Publishing is pleased to announce its celebration of forty years in academic publishing in 2007. The milestone will be observed throughout the anniversary year and will include special events at conferences, the new Welcome to Emerald program for library science students, an expanded offering of awards, and the launch of eight new journals.
Emerald was established in 1967 by a group of senior academics who, dissatisfied with the international publishing distribution outlets of the time, formed MCB University Press, an alternative publishing house that focused on niche management disciplines including strategy, change management and international marketing. In 2001 MCB University Press adopted the name Emerald as its new organizational identity, stemming from the working title of its flagship product Emerald (the Electronic Management Research Library Database).

Emerald will host special anniversary events at international conferences throughout the year. Customers and members of the academic community will be invited to join celebrations at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter and Annual meetings, IFLA, and the Academy of Management among others.
2007 will mark the first full year of the Welcome to Emerald Program for ALA accredited library and information science graduate schools located in North America. The Program provides free use of all Emerald journals for faculty and students during collection development course studies, and sponsors the MLS Student Best Paper Award with the winner receiving sponsored attendance to the ALA Annual Conference.
Emerald will again be holding its annual Awards for Excellence in twelve disciplines, with outstanding paper, highly commended, and leading editor awards each sponsored by an Emerald journal. An Outstanding Service Award will be presented, along with the popular Research Fund Awards.
Following the acquisition of seven titles last year, eight new journals will be launched during 2007 marking an exciting time of growth in the Emerald portfolio. These titles will include Chinese Management Studies; Direct Marketing: An International Journal; International Journal of Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research; International Journal of Energy Sector Management; Journal of Enterprising Communities: People and Places in the Global Economy; Multicultural Education & Technology Journal; and Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy.
