WASHINGTON, D.C. -- McGraw-Hill, the global publisher and
information services provider, and Bellcore, the world leader in
telecommunications software, consulting and training, today
announced plans to launch a new line of books as part of the
McGraw-Hill Professional Book Group. This announcement was
made today at ComNet `98.
Supervised by McGraw-Hill senior editor Steven Elliot, reporting to
publisher Michael Hays, this new book line, or imprint, will serve as
the exclusive publisher of Bellcore professional reference books on
leading-edge communications technologies and trends, based on
Bellcore's technical expertise and consulting insight. Bellcore will
work with McGraw-Hill to identify potential book subjects and
authors, while McGraw-Hill will provide editorial, publishing,
marketing and distribution functions.
The imprint will sign, develop and publish approximately 10 titles per
year authored by Bellcore employees or consultants. The companies
expect future book topics to cover such emerging technologies as
Advanced Intelligent Networks, Cellular and PCS, Fiber Optics,
SONET, xDSL technologies, and Internet related technology.
"This publishing arrangement is in keeping with the
McGraw-Hill Companies global initiatives to bring
cutting-edge information and training to professionals in
markets around the world," said publisher Michael
Hays. "This arrangement with Bellcore expands the
prestigious McGraw-Hill author list with industry
pioneers -- the inventors, scientists and researchers of
Bellcore who are the architects of tomorrow's
communications infrastructures. The combination of
McGraw-Hill, with our strong domestic and
international distribution and presence, and Bellcore
will result in an imprint that communications
professionals will recognize and use as a resource."
"Bellcore is committed to providing world-class
telecommunications information and training, and this
arrangement with McGraw-Hill will provide us with a
new opportunity for the dissemination of our technical
and industry knowledge," says Roger Blomgren, group
vice president of Bellcore Learning Services. "By
channeling the expertise of our employees into books,
we are expanding our portfolio to enhance our position
as the authoritative source for telecommunications
educational and reference material."
