Springer
Publisher
I
worked for Springer Publisher in Heidelberg, Germany, a major publisher
for scientific books and journals worldwide. It is not the same as Axel
Springer Publisher, who publishes yellow-press material.
I conceptualised
and developed their Intranet for the Multimedia department completely
from scratch, including investigating a needs analysis. I implemented
an engine which allows each staff member to enter news into a common
database, which will automatically be deleted after it reaches its expiry
date. This ensured an immediate and effective communication flow within
the department. I used Perl on a Unix server to implement the functionality.
I also
developed a connected database with Springer New York to allow for sharing
of their online subscription journals. I was learning new systems and
programming languages in a very short time period. In addition to that,
I programmed some Java applets for interactive books online and did
design work for the Intranet.
