Infotrieve emerges as the leader in the article economy
Infotrieve emerges as the leader in the article economy
Infotrieve, the world's leading commercial article vendor, has announced agreements with many of the largest and most highly regarded scientific, technical and medical (STM) publishers in the world, securing their place as an article economy leader.
The article economy has emerged in response to the demand for more flexibility in document access and pricing models. On-demand article sales now co-exist with subscription-based access, in response to the librarian's increasing need for multiple methods of gaining access to information. With the advent of better discovery tools and widespread access to good metadata, the demand for journal articles is escalating. Often the discovered article is unavailable from local holdings, so librarians look to companies like Infotrieve to fill the gaps.
Infotrieve now makes a critical mass of STM journal articles available for immediate online delivery. The company has direct agreements with publishers to provide online access to full-text articles from over 2,300 scholarly titles, on a transactional basis, amounting to over one million articles available for immediate delivery to the desktop. Additionally, Infotrieve continues to move further into the scholarly arena, expanding its mass of journal articles to include the academic areas of humanities, arts and the social sciences.
Over the past few months, Infotrieve has signed agreements with several more highly regarded STM publishers: Taylor & Francis, Kluwer Academic, Blackwell Science, the Royal Society of Chemistry, Blackwell Publishers, and the American College of Chest Physicians. Infotrieve has direct online agreements with 44 publishers and paper-delivery agreements with over 1,000 publishers.
