FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hershey, PA—September 9, 2019- IGI Global announces Mr. Richard Illingworth as their new Director of Sales for Europe and the Middle East. Through this position, Richard will be helping disseminate access to IGI Global’s expanding portfolio of 5,300+ reference books and 185+ scholarly journals, with an extensive focus on IGI Global’s expansive line of InfoSci-Databases among libraries, consortium, and the research community throughout Europe and the Middle East.

With over 16 years of experience in working in the publishing and information service industry, Richard has worked with some of the world’s largest academic, corporate, and public sector suppliers across Europe, U.S., and Asia markets, enabling him to provide comprehensive research solutions. Before devoting his work fulltime to IGI Global, Richard served as Global Head of Sales for a UK-based start-up publisher and conducted an MBA from a leading UK school.

Embracing the core values of integrity, innovation, and growth, Richard consistently ranks as one of the leading sales professionals in the world of academia. He has won awards for strategic account management. He has also created and grown business in different academic sectors and has been nominated for “Best New Starter” in a number of organizations. “Successful sales individuals enjoy meeting with past, future, and new customers to understand needs and wants and/or to share industry knowledge and experience,” stated Richard Illingworth. “This approach creates a knowledge share that brings value to the customer beyond the art of selling. I am constantly learning, and I look forward to bringing my experience and insight to IGI Global.”

Acting as the key contact for library customers, stakeholders, and professional researchers within one of IGI Global’s largest markets, Mr. Illingworth will also work collaboratively with leading regional consortia including the following:

  • Combined Higher Education Software Team (CHEST), a consortium for the education and research communities in the UK and Republic of Ireland
  • German National Library of Economics, also known as the Leibniz Information Center for Economics (ZBW), which is the world’s largest research infrastructure for economic literature.
  • Saudi Digital Library (SDL), the largest gathering of academic information in the Arab world.
Through Mr. Illingworth’s experience and insights, he will be able to provide institutions with the latest information regarding IGI Global along with customized information regarding libraries’ accounts. Additionally, he will assist with further deepening IGI Global’s regional pedigree which includes attendance at the United Kingdom Serials Group (UKSG) conference and relationships with notable European and Middle Eastern institutions, of which our 50,000+ contributions from European and Middle Eastern scholars are affiliated with and some of which are actively acquiring IGI Global research, such as:

Additionally, when a library invests in IGI Global’s InfoSci-Journals and/or InfoSci-Books databases, they can take advantage of IGI Global’s Open Access (OA) Fee Waiver (Read and Publish) Initiative to provide their institution with an additional source of OA article processing charge (APC) funding. Through this transformative initiative, IGI Global matches the library’s investment with a fund of equal value to go towards subsidizing the OA article processing charges (APCs) for their faculty patrons at that institution when their work is accepted under OA into an IGI Global journal.*
