The Konsortium Sachsen (Library Consortium for the German Land of Saxony), which groups the libraries of universities, colleges and professional academies, has renewed its agreement with academic publisher De Gruyter using the evidence-based selection (EBS) model for e-books for 2019 and 2020.
The agreement, which allows for access to all e-book content from De Gruyter, its imprints, as well as to the titles of most Publishing Partners, has been expanded to include a key open access component.
Part of the licensing fees can be used by the consortium to transform e-book titles to open access. This means that monographs can be made permanently open access beyond December 31, 2020 at the end of the agreement.
Furthermore, consortium members can permanently include licensed e-book titles in their collections.
