Elsevier signs agreement with The John Rylands University Library at The University of Manchester

Deal brings UK university expanded scientific and medical information.

Amsterdam, 2 December 2004 - Elsevier announced the signing of an agreement for the provision of vital scientific and medical information. The agreement provides the 30,000-strong customer community - composed of university undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, faculty and staff - with complete access to 40 Major Reference Works and 4 Book Series packages, covering authoritative titles from the core scientific and medical literature including such titles as Encyclopedia of Energy, Encyclopedia of Geology, Encyclopedia of Soils in the Environment, Treatise on Geochemistry, Encyclopedia of Biodiversity and the International Encyclopedia of Social & Behavioral Science.

Furthermore, the contract also contains the standard Elsevier “walk-in” provision, which permits all UK citizens coming to libraries for scientific and medical information access to content covered under the agreement.

The agreement provides The University of Manchester user community with access to the Major Reference Works and Book Series via ScienceDirect. Reference Works offer definitive reviews of their fields, via authoritative, validated content, edited by international teams of experts. The scope of these works ranges from the detailed, exhaustive coverage of specialist areas to the broad-based succinct overviews in the Encyclopedias. Via ScienceDirect, extensive browsing and advanced searching is possible across subject, thematic, alphabetical, author and cited author indexes, as well as internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy.

"We are proud to support The John Rylands University Library at The University of Manchester in its goal of becoming a research powerhouse and providing the best research materials available to their communities,'' said Frank Vrancken Peeters, Elsevier’s Managing Director for Sales, Science & Technology, Elsevier.

''As part of our strategy to provide our researchers with quality electronic resources, I am pleased we have negotiated this deal with Elsevier as it further extends our portfolio of electronic materials,” said Dr. Diana Leitch, Deputy University Librarian at The John Rylands University Library at The University of Manchester.
