Edinburgh, UK, 27th January 2010, Edinburgh University Press has entered
into a three year agreement with the Scottish Higher Education Digital
Library (SHEDL) to provide access to all EUP journals for all of the
nineteen SHEDL member institutions in Scotland.
SHEDL was set up in 2009 to provide uniform access across all Scottish
Higher Education Institutions, it started by licensing journal content from
three publishers and has expanded considerably for 2010. SHEDL operates as
a closed consortium, enabling researchers to have access to the same titles
wherever they are based. This is vital to the Research Pools operated in
Scotland which consist of researchers from different institutions working
together but reliant on the online information that they receive from their
home library.
The Edinburgh University Press agreement, running from January 2010 until
2012, will enable researchers in Scotland to access all Edinburgh University
Press journals, including leading Scottish History journals Scottish
Historical Review and Journal of Scottish Historical Studies, highly
regarded publications in literary studies including, Oxford Literary Review,
Paragraph and Romanticism, and the journal of the Society for the History of
Natural History, Archives of Natural History.
Catriona Murray, Head of Sales and Marketing at Edinburgh University Press
said: "We are delighted to provide our journals collection to SHEDL, it will
be of great value to Scottish researchers to access content from EUP in each
and every Scottish university. Our journals cover a wide range of the
social science and humanities and we hope that this, three-year, fixed-price
deal will be of benefit to universities in Scotland during the difficult
economic climate."
