Wiley-Blackwell, the STM and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc, US, is set to launch a new digitisation initiative to make 2,000 additional books online for the first time and accessible to librarians, information professionals, academics, researchers and students worldwide.
Among the 2,000 additional books will be leading titles in clinical and evidence-based medicine, life science, physics, chemistry, material science, social science and the humanities. Starting December 2007, fifteen-hundred titles from Blackwell Publishing, 400 titles from Wiley-VCH, and several hundred book series volumes, such as the Novartis Foundation Symposia series, the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds series, and the Wiley Statistics and Probability Series, will appear on Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
Wiley InterScience is the online content delivery platform from John Wiley & Sons, which acquired Blackwell Publishing earlier this year. The digitisation and availability for licensing of 1,500 Blackwell books is a key immediate customer benefit of the integration of the two companies.
The latest addition is projected to significantly expand the already robust collection of OnlineBooks on Wiley InterScience, bringing the total number of available titles to 5,000 advanced texts, leading works, reference and scholarly books and book series in the professional, medical and scientific fields. Wiley InterScience OnlineBooks offers free access, indexes, table of contents and chapter summaries, and provides full text access in PDF format to subscribers.
