Best Practices Newsletter

The CIDM invites you to take advantage of the wealth of industry-related information you'll find in the Best Practices newsletter. This bimonthly publication, directed by JoAnn Hackos, is written by publications managers for publications managers.

Best Practices provides practical guidance for professional information-development managers, focusing on industry best practices and in-depth analyses of strategies being discussed in the executive conference rooms. Subscribing to Best Practices is the most inexpensive equivalent to an MBA in publications management.

You can subscribe to the Best Practices newsletter even if you aren't a CIDM member. The subscription costs $99 per year. For subscribers outside the US, the cost is $109 USD. Please fill out the form below if you are interested in subscribing. You can pay securely online or we will call you for payment details (indicate your choice at the bottom of the form).
