President, Ringgold, Inc.
|
|
|
As President of Ringgold, I now endorse the use of our toolkit at www.openrfp.com for use by vendors and libraries to improve learning about and purchase of software and other high-tech products. OpenRFP is one of two branded services of Ringgold; it is a learning environment and decision-support system where librarians can identify and clarify their needs. Identify, at www.openidentify.com, provides identification and metadata to support supply chain users of e-Content, thereby helping publishers, agents and libraries to improve their management of electronic journal licensing and entitlements.
