The Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) and subscriptions services company Swets have announced the launch of the 2011 ALPSP Learned Journals Collection (ALJC). With a total of 1014 titles, the 2011 collection claims to be the largest to date, offering libraries access to an unparalleled wealth of high quality electronic content in an affordable manner.
There are 7 new publishers making their content available within the 2011 collection, bringing 35 titles with them. These are: Atlantis Press; El Profesional de la Informacion; OULA - Ottawa United Learning Academy; SNM - Society of Nuclear Medicine; The Clay Minerals Society; Science Reviews 2000; and Pier Professional. Nine subject-specific sub collections are available alongside the 2011 main collection, providing greater flexibility for those libraries interested in specific sections of the overall collection.
Initiated by ALPSP in 2003, the ALJC is a unique cooperation that enables smaller and medium-sized publishers to sell their titles effectively to consortia and other library customers. The range of content from the ALJC is supplied to customers through a single umbrella license, pricing model and delivery platform. The complex licensing and legal structure of this cross-publisher initiative is coordinated by Swets, who also service the worldwide sales, marketing and online content access channels for the Collection. Rather than dealing individually with a large number of publishers, library customers can now access all of the full-text e-Journals directly via SwetsWise Online Content or through the ALJC's own web portal.
