Hi,
I thought lis-e-journal members might be interested in the following -
apologies if you've already heard this through other routes. Does this mean
that Mary Ann Liebert will be moving its journals off ingenta/ingenta
select?
Mary Ann Liebert to Launch New Electronic Journals Site
Signs Exclusive Agreement With Atypon Systems
LARCHMONT, New York-March 1, 2004-Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers
announced today that it has selected Atypon Systems to develop and maintain
a new online platform for its electronic journals program. The new
platform-titled MAL Online-will launch this fall.
Based on Atypon's award-winning LiteratumT electronic publishing platform,
the new site will utilize PDFPlus technology, which imbeds citation links
directly in PDF files. Forward-linking technology will also link users to
additional papers that have cited a given paper, allowing for more complete
research.
This advanced platform will offer a variety of enhanced features in both
performance and utility, including a fully customisable interface and e-mail
alert program. Librarians and system administrators will have access to the
most detailed usage statistics package available, thanks to Atypon's
innovative technology.
"This rebirth of MAL Online will give our customers-libraries, corporations,
and individuals-amazing new tools to use our content in innovative ways. We
're on the forefront of science and medicine, and Atypon is on the forefront
of electronic content delivery, so it's a perfect marriage," said Tom Mulak,
Vice President of MAL Online.
In the coming months, subscribers to Mary Ann Liebert's peer-reviewed
journals will be contacted regarding the new MAL Online site and how the
impending changes will affect them. Customers are encouraged to visit
www.LiebertPub.com/MALOnline <http://www.LiebertPub.com/MALOnline> for the
latest information on this new site.
Founded in 1980, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. is universally acknowledged for
