ScienceDirect College Edition gains content and flexibility By Myrna Everaars, Interim Marketing
Manager, A&G Global Accounts, Elsevier,
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
In 2005, Elsevier launched the
ScienceDirect College Edition, created for
two- to four-year colleges. At that time this
was new territory for Elsevier, and the
offering was received with enthusiasm.
Recently, college-based customers have
expressed a desire for more complete
access to ScienceDirect. Some librarians
have experienced a growing demand for
high-level scientific information, while
others are intrigued by the expansion of
ScienceDirect into relatively new areas,
like eBooks.
In response to these demands, an extended
version of the ScienceDirect College Edition
has been created. Starting with the 2009
subscription year, the College Edition
includes access to pre-1995 journal content
and includes eBooks, handbooks and book
series in addition to major reference works.
To provide as much flexibility as possible,
college-based customers can now
choose from these new subscription
agreement options:
ScienceDirect College Edition Complete
The Complete collection offers access
to books, journals and pre-1995 journal
content across three broad subject
collections: Health & Life Sciences,
Social & Behavioral Sciences, and
Physical Sciences.
ScienceDirect College Edition Select
Select allows purchase of individual
collections — Health & Life Sciences,
Social & Behavioral Sciences, and
Physical Sciences — and, within each
of the three subject collections, the
choice of online access to books,
journals and pre-1995 journal content.
The ScienceDirect College Edition is
an access-only model (with no archival
rights after subscription cancellation)
and is based on a calendar year
subscription. It’s available to colleges
that teach up to a master's level, do not
award degrees at a doctoral level, are
not involved with research and do not
have research centers.
