OpenEdition Freemium for Books: A Sales Offer for Libraries and Institutions

October 30, 2013, OpenEdition launches a new sales offer to distribute
1,000 humanities and social science eBooks from 25 publishers. This
offer allows libraries to pursue an acquisitions policy that both
encourages the development of open access and respects the needs of
teaching, research and learning communities: no DRM or download quotas
are applied. A range of advanced associated services make it easy for
libraries to integrate the eBooks into their catalogues and
bibliographic search tools.

Two modes: book-by-book acquisition or packages

It is possible to acquire books individually, or as part of packages.
OpenEdition’s selection of books for thematic packages is transversal
and covers the whole of the OpenEdition Books catalogue. The
acquisition of one or several packages enables libraries to benefit
from a preferential rate in relation to books purchased individually.

Two licenses: long-term or annual access

Long-term access enables libraries to create book collections for
permanent conservation without usage limits. Libraries are entitled to
conserve the PDF and ePub files of purchased books. With annual
access, libraries can offer users books acquired individually or as
part of a cheaper package. The library automatically acquires
permanent access to the book or package after four years of
uninterrupted annual access.

Associated services

Whichever license is selected, a range of value-added services are
also offered to libraries and their users.
