STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has selected Inkling, the creator of engaging, intuitive digital books for some of the world's most respected publishers, to power the next generation of its popular Expert Consult and Student Consult medical reference and medical learning platforms.
All of Elsevier's leading medical reference and learning content will be available through Inkling's standard-setting reading and search experience. Both existing and new users will enjoy easy search, consistent structure, rich media, social and community features, and seamless electronic access from any device.
As part of this agreement, Elsevier will bring more than 650 leading medical titles to Inkling and will use Inkling Habitat, the industry-leading cloud publishing platform, to build and manage this content so that it is consistently structured, searchable, and easily updated. Expert Consult and Student Consult users will enjoy the Inkling features medical professionals and students around the globe have come to expect – truly interactive content that brings new meaning to illustrations, and allows readers' annotations to travel across their devices and be shared with others.
Current Expert Consult and Student Consult users will be automatically upgraded to the new experience. New and returning customers can buy access to specific topics, individual chapters, and complete content sets directly on ExpertConsult.com and StudentConsult.com. In addition, customers who choose to buy physical books will also be granted access to the digital experience. No matter how customers choose to buy and use their medical content, the improved Expert Consult and Student Consult experience will enhance the way they find and learn from medical knowledge.
The content will also be available for purchase through Inkling.com alongside the existing catalogue of Elsevier medical content. Inkling plans to roll out hundreds of additional digital titles, ranging from oncology to psychiatry, pediatrics to emergency medicine, and more, throughout 2013.
The new Expert Consult and Student Consult experiences will be available early in the first quarter of 2014.
