ebrary, a ProQuest business, has announced that Wiley along with over 50 newly signed publishers such as American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Leuven University Press, and University of Illinois Press will distribute e-books in Academic Complete as well as other models including perpetual archive, patron driven acquisition, and short-term loan.
Academic Complete subscribers will soon benefit from a growing selection of more than 75,000 quality e-books - including 1,800 new titles from Wiley - from over 500 participating publishers.
By leveraging Academic Complete to distribute certain types of e-books including important backlist titles which would traditionally have been out of print, and making others such as the most current e-books available in other models, publishers can participate in ebrary’s new strategic approach to e-book acquisition and distribution. This approach includes working with libraries to leverage Academic Complete subscription usage statistics by discipline to determine where to strategically apply additional budget to other acquisition models. It also involves streamlining and automating the ordering process through book vendors such as YBP.
Academic Complete claims to be the industry’s first e-book subscription product that has been serving as a foundational collection to thousands of libraries throughout the world for nearly a decade.
