January 2009

The much anticipated new eBooks cooperative service enabling 
ALPSP members to offer multi-publisher collections to libraries 
was launched this week. The launch collection includes over 1,200 
titles from 15 member publishers covering 11 subject areas. Many 
of the titles included in the AeBC have not been available 
previously in digital format. It is expected that other ALPSP 
member publishers will add titles in coming months. The AeBC will 
be available exclusively through Ingram Digital's MyiLibrary 
platform.

The launch collection publishers include: American Psychiatric 
Publishing; Amsterdam University Press; Australian Academic 
Press; Edinburgh University Press; EDP Sciences; Equinox 
Publishing; Federation Press; Hindawi Publishing Corporation; 
International Food Information Service (IFIS Publishing); IOS 
Press; NRC Research Press; Multilingual Matters; Policy Press; 
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists; Royal College 
of Psychiatrists

The AeBC is available to libraries and other institutions through 
the extensive network of MyiLibrary distribution partners, which 
include Swets, the current provider of the ALPSP Learned Journals 
Collection, Coutts Information Services and ProQuest.

Publishers participating in the ALPSP eBook Collection will also 
benefit from access to Ingram Digital's full range of content 
solutions including the MyiLibrary platform for individual e-book 
sales, the CoreSource digital asset management platform and 
print-on-demand services from Lightning Source.
