Announcing Arts
& Sciences XII
JSTOR
is pleased to announce the Arts
& Sciences XII Archive Collection, which
will launch in April and feature a minimum of 125 titles at
completion. This collection expands JSTOR’s coverage in the
social sciences, focusing on disciplines with high usage and
broad appeal across all levels of higher education
institutions. Three disciplines—education, law, and political
science—will anchor the collection, with supporting clusters
in sociology, criminology, social work, psychology, and Asian
studies.
Arts
& Sciences XII will
include journals from the American Bar Association, Brill,
Lynne Reinner, and Springer. Notable titles will include: ABA Journal; Sociologie du travail, from Elsevier Masson SAS; Journal of
Comparative Family Studies; Journal of Quantitative
Criminology; Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of
Sri Lanka and Foro italiano, with content
dating to the 1800s; and Educational Psychology
Review.
Since
launching our first archive collection in 1997, we have worked
to lower fees consistently. We have also heard from a number
of institutions regarding the challenge of managing
expenditure on recurring fees. In response to this feedback,
Arts & Sciences XII will have a lower Annual Access Fee
(AAF) than those of our previous Arts & Sciences
collections.
We also provide flexible payment options to
help institutions license collections in ways that best suit
their budgets:
· Institutions
may choose to spread the one-time Archive Capital Fee (ACF)
over a period of up to 10 years, with no interest charged.
This option is available for all Arts & Sciences
collections and the Life Sciences collection.
· Reserve
accounts are available for institutions who would like to set
aside funds for archive collections. Please contact us for
details.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bloomsbury Publishing Plc ("Bloomsbury") Bloomsbury announces change to its recent acquisition
Rebranding of AVA Publishing to Fairchild Books
In July 2012, Bloomsbury acquired Applied Visual Arts Publishing ("AVA"), creative publishers for the applied visual arts. AVA has now been successfully integrated into Bloomsbury's London operation. Until this point AVA has been kept as an independent imprint, but to better serve our customers and authors, this is now changing.
From 1st April 2013 all new AVA titles will be published under the Fairchild Books name.
This change will result in increased profile for all titles, through a coherent brand that is recognized for its excellence in global markets. It gives focus to our publishing strategy, allowing us to maximize exposure for our publications and profile for our authors. In particular, it greatly increases reach in the US market through the Fairchild Books name.
Fairchild Books was acquired by Bloomsbury in April 2012.
Synergies between the AVA and Fairchild Books lists are significant. Their textbooks have been widely adopted at higher education institutions around the world and are used and recommended by many thousands of academics, students and practitioners. The new combined Fairchild Books will publish around 50 new titles a year and have a backlist of 450 titles in fashion, interior design, graphic arts, moving image and photography and architecture.
Bloomsbury is now the largest global publisher of academic materials for the visual arts, which now constitutes roughly half our Academic business.
The combined business will provide significant opportunities for developing innovative digital initiatives.
Launching new digital initiatives
The forthcoming Fashion Photography Archive will join Bloomsbury's existing portfolio of successful digital products, which includes the award-winning Berg Fashion Library, the Churchill Archive and Drama Online, launching this spring.
The recent launch of the academic area of the new Bloomsbury website, http://bloomsburynews.com/go.asp?/bBLM001/qUYWDE2F/xQG5ME2F, brings together books, eBooks, journals and digital product information for the first time, all grouped by subject area. Including all AVA and Fairchild Books titles, it features enhanced academic functionality such as online previews, digital inspection copies, textbook companion sites and online resources, and emphasizes Bloomsbury's dedication to academic and professional publishing and investment in new formats and technologies.
