Springer extends reach with new Ingenta deal
Over 1000 Springer titles now distributed via IngentaConnect
Ingenta Inc., the technology and services provider for the publishing and information industries, and Springer, the specialist publishing group, today announced a revised contract which enables Springer to benefit from Ingenta’s global visibility to over 17,000 registered libraries. The new deal increases the number of Springer titles available on the IngentaConnect platform to over 1000, bringing the total number of electronic titles available via Ingenta to over 8000.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ingenta will now host full text for Springer’s core journals, including the new Springer Online Backfiles products containing all back publications up to volume 1 issue 1. The full text will be accessible via subscription or pay-per-view, enabling libraries simply to add their Springer titles to their Ingenta collection, and offering users the opportunity to purchase unsubscribed Springer content using credit cards or their institution’s Ingenta deposit account.
Speaking of the new distribution arrangement, Kim Zwollo, Springer’s Director, Special Licensing & Rights, said, “At Springer, we recognise the importance of meeting our library customer’s needs, and making our content available through different channels is one important way to do this. Offering access to the Springer Online Journal collection on Ingenta, in addition to our SpringerLink platform, enables us to provide our customers with a choice – an additional route to our content.”
Douglas Wright, Vice President, Ingenta, added: “We’re delighted that Springer has chosen to build on its presence within IngentaConnect, and the addition of so many new Springer titles reinforces Ingenta’s role as a key content provider for libraries. Publishers looking for increased visibility turn to Ingenta because we can guarantee an extensive user base, with over 1 million articles viewed every month on Ingenta. Our recent work to simplify content loading procedures, and our unique partnerships with subscription agents, also make it increasingly efficient for publishers and libraries to take advantage of Ingenta’s services.”
