Whether you are a librarian developing digital collections for your institution or a publisher navigating the digital market, we'll support you through challenges and technical issues such as security, licensing, authorizations, accessibility, statistics and long-term preservation, to mention a few. Our ongoing investment in technological development ensures we remain at the forefront of services and tools for hosting, accessing, and using academic content.
Our mission is to be the point of reference for libraries around the world to source and acquire scholarly publications, contributing to the sharing and dissemination of scientific and humanistic research. We work to identify, catalogue and promote new publications, including those from small cultural entities, while protecting and strengthening the value of linguistic diversity. We draw on our substantial experience in the field to make the most of the possibilities offered by new ways of creating and accessing electronic publishing content, working alongside publishers and libraries to support them through technological and organizational changes.
We believe in the great richness that comes from the diverse cultures, perspectives, languages and disciplines around the world and we are committed to making them widely accessible as quickly as possible, through libraries, museums and institutions in all nations, so that people can rely on verified and comprehensive information as a starting point for new ideas and research that may contribute to democratic, inclusive and sustainable global development.
