BioOne Announces 2009 Collections, Pricing

BioOne (www.bioone.org) is pleased to welcome 12 new titles and 
their respective not-for-profit publishers to the 2009 BioOne 
Collections. Nine ISI-ranked titles from around the world, 
including Malacologia, published by the Institute of Malacology, 
will join the BioOne.2 collection, now in its third year. 
Tree-Ring Research, the esteemed journal of the Tree-Ring 
Society, will complement the BioOne.1 collection in 2009, and two 
titles, including Marine & Coastal Fisheries, published by the 
American Fisheries Society, will join the BioOne Open Access 
collection.

Due to these additions, BioOne is now home to 149 total 
publications, 99 of which (66%) are ISI-ranked.  Furthermore, 60 
of BioOne's titles (40%) have their current content available 
online exclusively through BioOne.  All new and existing titles 
will debut on January 6, 2009 on BioOne's new Atypon-powered 
platform, serviced by Allen Press.  The new BioOne web site will 
provide our publishing partners with a sophisticated, 
highly-branded web presence and end users with a dynamic, 
powerful interface.

2009 pricing for BioOne.1 will increase 5% across most US pricing
bands from 2008 rates.  Despite the significant increase in quality
content, for the second straight year 2009 rates for BioOne.2 will not
increase.  Libraries that subscribe to BioOne.1 but have not yet
purchased BioOne.2 are encouraged to take a second look. To schedule a
free trial or for pricing information, please contact BioOne North
American Sales Manager Donna Loews at donna.loews@bioone.org.
