Edinburgh University Press Signs Three-Year Agreement with SHEDL

["Laura Cox" <laura.cox@frontlinegms.com>]

Edinburgh, UK, 27th January 2010, Edinburgh University Press has 
entered into a three year agreement with the Scottish Higher 
Education Digital Library (SHEDL) to provide access to all EUP 
journals for all of the nineteen SHEDL member institutions in 
Scotland.

SHEDL was set up in 2009 to provide uniform access across all 
Scottish Higher Education Institutions, it started by licensing 
journal content from three publishers and has expanded 
considerably for 2010.  SHEDL operates as a closed consortium, 
enabling researchers to have access to the same titles wherever 
they are based. This is vital to the Research Pools operated in 
Scotland which consist of researchers from different institutions 
working together but reliant on the online information that they 
receive from their home library.

The Edinburgh University Press agreement, running from January 
2010 until 2012, will enable researchers in Scotland to access 
all Edinburgh University Press journals, including leading 
Scottish History journals Scottish Historical Review and Journal 
of Scottish Historical Studies, highly regarded publications in 
literary studies including, Oxford Literary Review, Paragraph and 
Romanticism, and the journal of the Society for the History of 
Natural History, Archives of Natural History.

Catriona Murray, Head of Sales and Marketing at Edinburgh 
University Press said: "We are delighted to provide our journals 
collection to SHEDL, it will be of great value to Scottish 
researchers to access content from EUP in each and every Scottish 
university.  Our journals cover a wide range of the social 
science and humanities and we hope that this, three-year, 
fixed-price deal will be of benefit to universities in Scotland 
during the difficult economic climate."
