“Expanding the titles and publishers available through Rialto and OASIS is a priority for ProQuest,” said Audrey Marcus, Vice President, Product Management at ProQuest. “With dramatic growth in the use of ebooks in higher education, libraries need the broadest choice of platforms possible. We are pleased to now offer Manchester University Press to our libraries for title-by-title purchase through our digital marketplaces.”
Manchester University Press joins 19 other publisher and aggregator platform options available for acquisition on the Rialto next-generation marketplace (built to unify and streamline selection and acquisition workflows for academic libraries) and the ProQuest OASIS online ordering platform (used by librarians to select and acquire academic content). Librarians can choose ebooks and streaming video from a rapidly growing number of platforms within their usual ordering workflow, simplifying the ordering and invoicing process.
