DeepDyve, a research engine for the Deep Web, has announced that it has been chosen by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) Alumni Association to provide members with access to DeepDyve’s extensive catalogue of scholarly and professional journals. As part of the agreement, Caltech Alumni Association will promote the DeepDyve service to the entire population of about 22,000 alumni.
Students at Caltech and other academic institutions have free access to a range of journals in their field of study. However, after leaving the university, former students lose their online institutional access and must begin bearing the cost of reading such journals – costs that can exceed $30 per article, or up to thousands of dollars for an annual subscription. DeepDyve seeks to address this need by providing graduates with journal access at a substantially reduced cost.
Beginning in March 2010, Caltech’s alumni association members will have the option to subscribe to DeepDyve’s monthly Gold plan at a discounted rate. With the Gold plan, users will be able to rent as many articles as they choose with no expiration dates. To learn more about DeepDyve and its available services, interested parties can sign up for a free 2-week trial.
