~American Psychological Association, Leading Publisher of
Psychology and Behavioral and Social Sciences Books, Makes Content Available to
Libraries through EBSCO eBooks™ ~
IPSWICH,
Mass. — June 30, 2015 — The American Psychological Association
(APA) is making its e-books available to libraries on the EBSCO
eBooks™ platform. The agreement with EBSCO Information Services gives libraries
cost-effective access to in-demand psychology, behavioral sciences and social
sciences titles.
At launch,
300 scholarly and professional titles from the APA are accessible through EBSCO eBooks. The content covers
a wide-range of topics in psychology and related disciplines, including
medicine, neuroscience, psychiatry, nursing, sociology, education,
pharmacology, and more. Available titles include important new releases such as
the APA Dictionary of Psychology,
Second Edition, and The
Psychology of Law: Human Behavior, Legal Institutions, and Law, by
Bruce D. Sales and Daniel A. Krauss.
Libraries
have several options when purchasing APA e-books from EBSCO: using the
ownership model (one user); through Patron-Driven Acquisition (PDA); or via
lease. Titles can be purchased directly through the EBSCOhost Collection Manager, as well
as through GOBI or OASIS. With no markups and no fees on any title, EBSCO eBooks is an economical and
convenient way for libraries to acquire the titles that researchers,
clinicians, and students need.
APA
Publisher Gary R. VandenBos, PhD, says that the partnership with EBSCO improves
the accessibility of APA titles. “Making the electronic versions of APA titles
available through EBSCO eBooks
gives librarians greater flexibility in adding our content to their library’s
collections. We strive to make significant information about the field
available as readily and conveniently as possible, and our partnership is a
reflection of that goal.”
