Elsevier launches prestigious Handbook Series on ScienceDirect


Amsterdam, 25 June 2005 - Elsevier has announced the addition of seven new Handbook Series to its premier electronic platform, ScienceDirect. The Handbooks span a range of subjects within the fields of Economics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics and add another layer of quality content to ScienceDirect.

Prestigious Handbooks in the new series include Handbooks in Economics Series, Handbook of Magnetic Materials, Handbooks in Operations Research & Management Science, Handbook on the Physics & Chemistry of Rare Earths, Handbook of Numerical Analysis, Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry, and the Handbook of Statistics.

Authored by invitation only, these highly-cited handbooks present benefits for librarian and user alike. Online availability enables 24/7 multiple-user access, full-text and bibliographic searching, browsing through chapters and different volumes, in- and outward linking to other electronic resources and easy compilation of usage statistics. Now, lost or damaged volumes and the management of shelf space are problems of the past.

A review of the Handbooks in Economics Series that appeared in Games and Economic Behavior, Volume 46, Number 1, states, “… No one can keep up with the literature, so we have come to recognize these volumes as immensely valuable. They are on almost everyone’s shelves…The Handbook has become the first reference for anyone who wants to learn [of game theoretic results] outside their own area.”

In response to input from librarians, ScienceDirect offers the seven Handbook Series under two convenient pricing options. With the annual Subscription Option, librarians pay a fee for site-wide access to online Handbooks and regular new volumes. With the Upfront Payment Option, a one-time fee lets librarians make use of year-end budget.

“Our pricing options are designed to offer flexibility for librarians and their budgets,” says Darrell Gunter, Senior Vice President of Sales at Elsevier. “What’s more, internal cross-referencing and external linking enables users to take their research path further and with greater ease and efficiency, maximizing the library’s investment in online resources.”

The addition of these titles increases the range of books already available on ScienceDirect. Researchers can cross-reference all content including Reference Works, Book Series and more than 2,000 scientific, technical and medical journals.
