Digital content services provider Ingram Digital, US, has announced that it has been selected by the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) to provide 67 Canadian universities, encompassing nearly 900,000 researchers, scholars and students, with access to premium e-book content from leading academic publishers. Under the terms of the agreement, Ingram Digital will supply CRKN with access to over 20,000 digital titles from Taylor & Francis, Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press through its industry leading MyiLibrary platform.
Digital titles available to CRKN will be offered via dual access, through both the MyiLibrary platform and the publisher platform where available, in a model pioneered by Ingram Digital to provide its customers with flexible options for e-book access. Adding an average of 1,000 titles per week, the next-generation MyiLibrary platform claims to be the fastest growing e-content aggregator currently available.
Ingram Digital's agreement with the CRKN adds to a series of successful engagements by international entities such as the UK's Joint Information Systems Committee. In order to meet the growing global demand for digital content services and solutions, Ingram Digital recently enhanced its EMEA operations and continues to work with top publishers to expand its inventory of electronic titles.
