Ingenta appoints Rebecca Lenzini to drive development of US business

Dear colleagues,

I wanted to let you know about Ingenta's recent appointment
of 
Rebecca Lenzini to drive forward our publisher services
business 
in North America.

Many of you will know Becky from her presidency of The
Charleston 
Company, or from previous roles at CARL UnCover and Faxon.
She 
will continue her involvement with the former, while working
with 
us to explore opportunities for, in particular, our next 
generation publications platform, pub2web.

Becky and I will both be at ALA Midwinter this weekend so
please 
do visit us at the Ingenta booth 1735.

Best regards,

Douglas Wright
Executive Vice President
Ingenta, Inc.

** For Immediate Release**

Ingenta engages Rebecca Lenzini to drive development of
North 
American opportunities

Ingenta, the technology provider which connects the
publishing 
and information industries, recently announced that Rebecca

Lenzini, President of The Charleston Company and a
long-standing 
member of the scholarly publishing and library communities,
will 
join the firm as Director of Business Development, Publisher

Services, on an assignment to strategically improve the 
positioning and development of its US presence.

Lenzini is well-known as publisher of The Charleston Advisor
and 
as co-founder and sponsor of the Fiesole Collection
Development 
Retreat Series. She was previously President and COO of CARL

Corporation in Denver, Colorado, and is one of the founders
of 
UnCover, the original article retrieval and document
delivery 
service introduced in 1988, now part of Ingenta. She also
served 
as Vice President and Director of the Faxon Company's
Academic 
Information Services Division in the 1980s. She holds a 
Certificate in Small Business Management from the Harvard 
Business School and an MLS from the University of Illinois
at 
Urbana-Champaign where she served as a serials librarian and
as 
Head of Technical Services. She will continue her activities
for 
The Charleston Company in addition to her new role at
Ingenta.

"This appointment reflects Ingenta's ongoing focus and
commitment 
to its US market and illustrates our firm desire to
strengthen 
our competitive position here; I think our success in
attracting 
such a highly-rated individual is testament to the progress
we 
have already made," says Ingenta Executive Vice
President Douglas 
Wright. "As a long standing participant in the
information 
community, Becky is ideally placed to leverage her knowledge
and 
experience to help us improve and grow our services to our 
publisher customer base in North America."

Ingenta's flagship website, IngentaConnect, provides more
than 
25,000 libraries with access to over 30,000 publications via

subscription and document delivery. Publishers can opt to
apply 
their own brand to their pages of the site using the 
IngentabyDesign service, or can upgrade to their own pub2web

publications platform, which shares some IngentaConnect
technical 
architecture but offers publishers full control over design
and 
content structure. Library services were streamlined during
2007 
with new features being added to the standard free-to-use 
package, and the IngentaConnect Complete upgrade suite being

repositioned as integrated document delivery, current
awareness 
and customization modules.

Please visit the Ingenta booth (1735) at ALA Midwinter for
more 
information.
