MYILIBRARY ANNOUNCES MAJOR E-BOOK LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH ELSEVIER HEALTH
SCIENCE
MyiLibrary and Elsevier Health Sciences UK today announce the signing of a
major e-book licensing agreement that will see Elsevier Health Science book
titles made available as e-books on the MyiLibrary platform.
MyiLibrary, the leading e-book provider, which was recently selected by the
National Health Services Core Content Group as the platform through which e-
books will be made available to all NHS England employees, will host,
market and distribute the titles.
The agreement will see such famous publishing names as Churchill
Livingstone and Butterworth Heinemann added to the list of Medical
publishers that MyiLibrary makes available for its library customers.
Chris Hall, Sales Director of Elsevier Health Sciences UK commented, “We
are delighted to be partnering with MyiLibrary and are very much looking
forward to making our collection of Medical book titles available in e-book
format. We recognise that demand to access medical books on-line is
growing and MyiLibrary with its significant presence in this market was an
obvious choice of partner for us.”
Linda Vendryes, President of MyiLibrary commented, “The Elsevier Health
Sciences collection of Medical books is unprecedented and is probably the
best collection of Medical Books available from any publisher. We are
already making some of these books available to the English National Health
Service as part of the core-content collection of books and, via our
distribution partner Coutts Library Services, we are now looking forward to
making these books available to all libraries. With already well over 2
million people having access to MyiLibrary, it remains the leading Medical
e-book platform and this collection of Elsevier titles will only enhance
this position.”
