Research Solutions, Inc., a pioneer in providing cloud-based workflow solutions for R&D driven organisations, has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Reprints Desk has entered into an agreement with the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) to streamline access to scholarly papers via Article Galaxy Scholar, Reprints Desk’s academic collection. Headquartered in Champaign, Illinois, BTAA comprises the academic consortium of the universities in the Big Ten Conference plus the University of Chicago.
Under the new agreement, the Article Galaxy Scholar collection will serve as a powerful complement to BTAA’s interlibrary loan systems, optimizing scholarly content acquisition for the consortium. Article Galaxy Scholar streamlines document delivery by providing an online gateway to journal articles from 40,000 scholarly publications, as well as chapters from half a million books, at a low academic royalty rate, from dozens of leading scientific, technology and medical (STM) publishers.
BTAA’s access to the Article Galaxy platform includes integration with popular interlibrary loan (ILL) software (ILLiad, RapidILL and IDS); a searchable and browsable A-Z list of participating publishers and publications; optional secondary sourcing for articles beyond the main collection; access to Reprints Desk's automated Open Access Filter; reporting options and usage stats; single-source billing; and 24/7 customer support.
Member libraries should contact BTAA for more information on the purchasing agreement with Reprints Desk and special consortia pricing.
