When completed, the collection will be the largest digital collection of alternative press titles, with complete runs of over 1,000 titles and 1,000,000 pages. Jeff Moyer from Reveal Digital will present this webinar about the creation of Independent Voices and explain the new business model that will make this collection a reality…”
