IngentaConnect celebrates 10,000 e-publications

Leading resource now providing access to over 20 million articles

Ingenta, the technology provider which connects the publishing and information industries, today announces further growth as flagship website IngentaConnect loads its 10,000th electronic publication. The platform, which supported over 31 million user sessions in May 2006, now offers full-text access to more than 20 million articles via a combination of subscription, pay-per-view and document delivery.

The company is celebrating reaching the 10,000 milestone with a program of special offers for its library and publisher clients. IngentaConnect Vice President Douglas Wright notes, "We want to thank our library and publisher customers for their loyalty in recent years. It is with their support that IngentaConnect has continued to thrive, to the extent that it is now indisputably the largest full-text collection of its kind. We continue to invest in development of the platform to add benefit for all our customers, and we have several technology projects currently underway which will support and build on IngentaConnect’s sustained success."

The IngentaConnect platform was launched in 2004 as the successor to the company's previous Ingenta.com and Ingenta Select websites. The site provides free searching and browsing of its 20 million articles, with full-text access available to subscribing users and pay-per-view options for non-subscribing users. Characterized by cutting-edge developments, IngentaConnect was the first major full text host to provide RSS feeds and OpenURL-compliant email alerting across its full collection of 30,000 publications (which includes 20,000 fax- and Ariel-delivered journals). Library customers can upgrade to IngentaConnect Premium or IngentaConnect Complete to take advantage of additional features including site customization. Publisher customers can upgrade to the IngentabyDesign service which applies branding to seamlessly incorporate the full range of IngentaConnect functionality within their own web interface.

Please visit the Ingenta booth (743) at the ALA Annual Conference to find out more about how IngentaConnect can meet your library's needs.
