Bloomsbury Pledges Continued Commitment to Librarian Collection Development and Acquisition Options

Bloomsbury Publishing is an award-winning, innovative, global independent publisher that stands for excellence and originality in scholarship. Our goal is to serve our customers with outstanding content, delivered to the highest standards. We are committed to the library community and to supporting diverse acquisition needs for our book and database purchasing across our full suite of products, including Bloomsbury Collections -- our e-books platform hosting over 30,000 titles from Bloomsbury and recently acquired imprints Rowman & Littlefield and ABC-CLIO -- and award-winning platforms such as Drama Online, Bloomsbury Fashion Central, Bloomsbury Visual Arts, and the Human Kinetics Library, to name but a few.

As we evolve to keep pace with the many changes in the global academic community, we remain supportive of the following solutions:

• Perpetual Access – Bloomsbury offers unlimited concurrent access to award-winning digital resources in the Humanities and Social Sciences, enabling your library to build a lasting archive and maximize budget with a one-time purchase model that provides access to nearly 40,000 eBooks and more than a dozen research hubs featuring multi-media content from premium partners
• Subscription – Bloomsbury believes that subscription models can represent affordable solutions for many of our customers so the option to purchase or subscribe is always yours to decide
• EBA – Bloomsbury supports the curation of your collection as you acquire the titles your users most want and need
• Print Books – Bloomsbury understands that print books are a format of choice for many readers and we will continue to supply print through our extensive network of trusted partners.
• Open Access - Bloomsbury partners with the library community to develop equitable open-access funding models for books, bringing the work of a diverse range of authors to a wider global audience.

“As publishers, we believe that content is paramount and that acquisition models should support customer choice through flexible purchasing. We know that a one-size-fits-all solution is not what the market wants, and that budgetary restrictions vary from institution to institution, region to region. The beating heart of the Bloomsbury business is quality content, created by our authors, editorial teams and licensing partners, and we remain committed to ensuring that we work with our customers to enable as broad an access as possible.” Kathryn Earle, Managing Director, Bloomsbury Digital Resources
