Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has announced a partnership with Ohio Library and Information Network (OhioLINK), a state wide academic library consortium, to give students access to discounted e-Textbooks. With the new agreement, students will pay an average of $29 per eBook, saving more than 60% per title.
The lowered pricing agreement will follow the inclusive access model, an arrangement that allows students to receive immediate access to discounted e-textbooks on day one of the course. It will be available to all OhioLINK members, which encompass 100 percent of Ohio's public higher education institutions and 85 percent of its non-profit higher education institutions.
A consortium of 118 libraries, 89 Ohio colleges and universities, and an FTE of more than 570,000 end users, OhioLINK is a part of the Ohio Department of Higher Education's OH-TECH Consortium and a national leader in the realm of affordable learning strategies benefitting students of higher education, ranging from inclusive access, to open educational resources, to alternative textbook programs and other library-led initiatives.
SAGE joins publishers John Wiley & Sons, Inc., McGraw-Hill Education, Pearson, Cengage and Macmillan Learning in OhioLINK’s Inclusive Access Initiative. Together, these agreements have the potential to save students more than $50 million each year.
