Abstract
IEEE’s International Client Services Manager (CSM) Team offers a unique and little studied “publisher-institutional support model” which both for- and non-profit publishers should become familiar and consider adopting. This small group of professional librarians continually expands the concept of “publisher relations,” offering international engineering, computer science, and other worldwide science and technology-related departments a wide gamut of both “publishing-” and “library-related” professional services. Activities include diverse, often multilingual research best-practices, advanced search strategy recommendations, student branch programming (mentorship, career development, author workshops, etc.) and library discovery service configuration best-practices. IEEE’s International CSMs work hand in hand with a broad array of students and professionals at US and international academic institutions to assist in the promotion of online library resources, foster success, and highlight the on-going contributions of their faculty and students. This cooperative “publisher/institutional support model” merits both recognition and study.
