Palgrave Macmillan launch ‘Build Your Own Collections’ and the ‘Connect Acquisitions Portal’ on Palgrave Connect Palgrave Macmillan is pleased to announce the launch of ‘Build Your Own Collections’ on Palgrave Connect, a new ebook purchasing model which will provide librarians with greater flexibility. Palgrave’s extensive list of 9,500 ebook titles across the Humanities, Business and Social Sciences will continue to be available as part of our popular ‘Subject Collections’ organised by year, however this new purchasing model enables librarians to construct their own bespoke ebook collections. ‘…Librarians tell us that they value our pre-defined subject collections but we have listened to their desire to have the option of more flexible ways to buy ebooks should they require it. Build Your Own Collections offers them the opportunity to purchase titles specific to their library and patrons; be that from one discipline, multiple disciplines or interdisciplinary subject areas.’ – Samantha Burridge, Executive Director at Palgrave Macmillan Using our specially designed Connect Acquisition Portal (CAP), librarians are able to receive real-time quotes for purchasing titles on the Build Your Own Collections model. This user-friendly ebooks acquisition tool offers librarians further benefits including the ability to run bulk ISBN searches, save searches and save multiple lists that can be amended, shared with other colleagues or ordered at a later date*. MARC21 records are also supplied as soon as orders are processed in the form of either Nielsen BookData records from CAP or via WorldCat Cataloging Partners for OCLC members. Subscribers will benefit from all the features and functionality available on the Palgrave Connect Platform including; - Simultaneous print and online program with new frontlist titles added monthly ensuring access to the most up to date publications - Unlimited concurrent access both on-site and remotely allowing all titles to be accessed no matter the number of users - Permissive DRM with the ability to print, copy and download - EPUB format available for all ebooks from 2011 and 2012 (in addition to PDF) for compatibility with e-readers.

PRESS RELEASE
Berlin, 28 June 2012 – IBZ Online, an international
index of journal literature in the humanities and social
sciences, now lists 1,323 open access journals that have never
before been systematically indexed. Thanks to this new content,
IBZ Online will add an additional 5,000 journal issues to its
database each year, including 16,000 articles and 21,000
abstracts. The database is updated on an ongoing basis,
and now contains over 3.3 million articles from approximately
11,500 journals.
IBZ Online helps to make the latest findings in the
humanities and social sciences accessible to academia. Content
is indexed with a keyword system that uses an interdisciplinary
approach and features intentional overlap in the natural
sciences. The database registers publications in over 40
languages.
"As open access journals in the humanities and
social sciences are becoming increasingly significant, it is
important for our customers and users that this content be
included in IBZ database," Bettina Bartz, De Gruyter's Editorial
Director for General Reference, said. "The editorial department
would be happy to receive recommendations concerning additional
journals that are not featured in the database and which are
promising candidates for inclusion."
For over 100 years, the IBZ
index has been the leading international reference database for
journal articles in the humanities, social sciences, and
neighboring fields. The range of fields encompassed by the index
is one of a kind: no other database contains a broader pool of
journal literature.

Nicola Gulley, Editorial Director of IOP Publishing said: "We are delighted with the results this year. Once again, the quality and influence of the journals published by IOP have been recognized. In many cases the journals are now leaders in their fields. This is a great recognition of the work of the authors, referees, boards and editors who continue to contribute to the success of the journals." There were high performances from individual journals:
We are very pleased to be able to share this great news with the library community and thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Sharice - - - Sharice P. Collins Vice President, Marketing IOP Publishing, Inc. 150 South Independence Mall West Philadelphia, PA 19106 ioppublishing.org |
