ebrary, a ProQuest business, has announced that it is expanding its e-book selection across acquisition models.
More than 1,800 new e-books from Wiley and 2,300 new titles from publishers including Princeton University Press and World Scientific & Imperial College Press will be available in Academic Complete, which will offer unlimited access to a growing selection of more than 75,000 quality titles. An additional 6,300 e-books from publishers such as MIT Press, Oxford University Press, and University of Illinois Press will be available through other ebrary models including patron driven acquisition, short-term loan, and perpetual archive. Titles can be ordered through ebrary as well as partners and book vendors such as YBP.
As libraries transition their budgets from print to digital books, diversifying acquisition models and streamlining the ordering process are key to achieving the greatest return on investment. A number of ebrary customers are benefitting from this approach.
