Ingenta's Eleven: The Haworth Press and ten other publishers join IngentaConnect

["Amel Abourachid" <amel.abourachid@ingenta.com>]

Dear colleagues,

We thought some of you may be interested in the latest Ingenta 
publisher signings, announced today at the SSP Annual Conference 
in the US:

Ingenta's Eleven: The Haworth Press and ten other publishers join 
IngentaConnect

Ingenta, the technology provider which connects the publishing 
and information industries, today announced the latest 11 
publishers to add their journals to the IngentaConnect platform, 
which provides subscription and pay-per-view access to nearly 
10,000 scholarly e-journals.

Prestigious US publisher The Haworth Press will take advantage of 
IngentaConnect's global distribution and visibility by adding 
their 226 journals to the platform, which will co-host them with 
Haworth's own site. President Bill Cohen described the 
arrangement as "epitomizing the 'third way' which is increasingly 
popular among scholarly publishers, who want both the autonomy 
and diversity of their own publications website, but also to 
capitalize on the ready-made audience offered by multi-publisher 
platforms. Ingenta is the most established of these, and with its 
larger market share was the obvious choice for us when we wanted 
to make our publications more widely available."

Also in North America, the American Institute of Chemists, the 
Mathematical Association of America, and the Society of 
Laparoendoscopic Surgeons have all chosen IngentaConnect as their 
online hosting partner, while the journal Surveying and Land 
Information Science will be added to the site by its 
co-publishers the National Society of Professional Surveyors, the 
American Association for Geodetic Surveying, and the Geographic 
and Land Information Society.

In the UK, the Dental Protection Society, Engineering Integrity 
Society, International Seed Testing Association and University of 
Buckingham Press have all recently signed to place their journals 
online with IngentaConnect. Elsewhere, the South African 
Statistical Association and Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht are the latest 
publishers to join the service.

IngentaConnect (www.ingentaconnect.com) now provides access to 
nearly 10,000 electronic journal, book and monograph titles and 
over 29,900 fax- and Ariel-delivered publications. The site 
receives up to 20 million users a month, and enables users to 
view full text via subscription and through a variety of 
different payment models such as library payment accounts, 
individual subscription sales and article pay-per-view access.
