STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that more than 600 medical, veterinary medicine, and health professions book titles will be launched in Health Science eBook Collections on ScienceDirect, in April 2009. Elsevier's health science books are published under the imprints W.B. Saunders, Mosby, Churchill Livingstone, and Hanley & Belfus.
To date, Elsevier's medical and health science book titles have only been available through MD Consult for clinical practitioners and medical education, Evolve eBooks for health professions education, and Veterinary Consult for veterinary medicine education. The thousands of authors represented in the Elsevier medical and health science collections on ScienceDirect will now enjoy greater market visibility, increasing the potential for research collaboration and recognition.
The addition of the Elsevier Health Science Collections follows the successful launch of Elsevier's Science & Technology book titles late in 2007. The initiative contributes to the evolution of the ScienceDirect platform into a comprehensive and complete source of global scientific knowledge.
