Palgrave Macmillan and Nature Publishing Group collaborate to launch new ebook platform

"In response to the growing demand for digital resources Palgrave Macmillan will launch its own ebook platform, Palgrave Connect, in January 2009. Developed in association with Palgrave Macmillan's sister company, Nature Publishing Group, Palgrave Connect offers libraries a flexible approach to building an ebook collection in the Humanities, Business and Social Sciences. From January over 4000 ebooks will be available in collections organised by year of publication and by discipline. 2009 collections will be updated quarterly with newly published titles. Both 2009 and backlist collections are available to purchase on a one-time fee perpetual access basis"
