US-based ebrary, a ProQuest business that has developed a new strategic approach to e-book acquisition based on three steps: Transition, Diversify, and Streamline, has announced a solution specifically for medical libraries. This includes new packs in nursing & allied health, medicine and psychology & social work.
The new, discounted packs include essential e-books from publishers such as Informa Healthcare, F.A. Davis Company and Oxford University Press that are purchased outright under a perpetual archive model. By combining the packs with other models including subscription, patron driven acquisition, and short-term loan, medical libraries can expect to achieve greater return on their e-book investment.
Medical libraries can order titles directly from ebrary, or they may streamline the ordering process through ebrary partners such as YBP.
