St. Paul, MN – June 3, 2004 – Magna Publications, Inc. has contracted iProduction to provide Internet publishing systems and related services for Magna’s entire line of information products and services. The site is located at www.magnapubs.com.

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Magna creates and distributes content for higher education audiences. The company’s newsletter titles include National On-Campus Report, The Teaching Professor, Academic Leader, Perspective: A Campus Legal Monthly, Recruitment and Retention, Campus Events Professional, Distance Education Report, Online Classroom, Edutech, and Administrator.

iProduction president Stephen M. Laliberte said the new Magna site is a perfect example of how running multiple publications on a single Internet Publishing System™ can help to reduce production costs and improve overall site functionality. “Magna has reduced the per-title costs of delivering content on the Web,” Laliberte said. “At the same time, the system can process virtually any combination of subscriptions, conference registrations, audio conference purchases, or other products for any Magna customer.”
