New approach enables broad, simple and
affordable access to trusted scholarly content for learning and
research
LONDON, Feb. 18,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT),
a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today
announced a new subscription-based content access strategy. The new
approach breaks down barriers through broad and affordable access
to highly curated, trusted academic resources, including Ebooks and
primary digital collections, enabling every library to support
research, teaching and learning goals.
The way institutions purchase books, journals and other content
for their users has shifted in recent years, particularly
post-pandemic. Increasingly, libraries are faced with complex
buying models that do not offer the content they require to support
curricula and research needs. Libraries continue to prioritize
solutions that offer affordability in a sustainable way.
At the same time, AI-powered chatbots are becoming ubiquitous as
a method of discovery for students and researchers. The ability of
academic AI tools to deliver reliable outputs depends on access to
broad, vetted academic content.
Bar Veinstein, President, Academia & Government at Clarivate
said: "We're addressing libraries' evolving needs by breaking down
barriers and delivering seamless access to our curated content. Our
goal is to make learning and research more accessible and
affordable at a large scale, unlocking opportunities for every
library, in every classroom and at every research department.
"Through this transformative approach, we're helping
institutions connect end users with academic AI tools grounded in
comprehensive curated content, reinforcing libraries' essential
role in upholding academic integrity and excellence."
The new strategy includes the introduction of two market-leading
solutions that are now available.
ProQuest Ebooks offers the world's largest
subscription of high-quality, multidisciplinary scholarly Ebooks,
including:
- Over 700,000 Ebooks, across 10 core disciplines, plus
additional essential interdisciplinary titles, enabling librarians
to meet the needs of their faculty and students with broad
discovery and access to the Ebooks they need
- A new Ebook Central Reader app to enable students to read and
bookmark on the go
- The addition of Ebook Central Research Assistant, a powerful
new AI tool designed to enhance student learning and streamline
research.
ProQuest Digital Collections offers subscription
to unparalleled breadth, value and access to primary sources
across a rich variety of content formats:
- Over 160 million primary source items complemented by over
2,500 full-text scholarly journals, more than 24,000 video titles,
and 15 million audio tracks. The subscription builds upon over 30
years of digitizing primary sources, including many rare and unique
resources.
- Broad and interdisciplinary in scope, the subscription provides
access to nine ProQuest One discipline solutions including
Anthropology, Entertainment & Popular Culture, Global Studies
& International Relations, History, Literature, Performing
Arts, Visual Arts & Design.
- ProQuest Research Assistant will continue to help students and
researchers use academic AI responsibly, rooted in trusted academic
content. The research assistant will expand over time to fully
support ProQuest Digital Collections.
As part of this transformative strategy and following changes in
demand from libraries, Clarivate will also phase out one-time
perpetual purchases of digital collections, print and digital books
for libraries. These transitions will take place throughout 2025,
in close co-operation with customers. For more details see our
support page.
Veinstein said: "From the introduction of Ebook subscriptions to
index-based linking and discovery, creating cloud-based library
management systems and academic AI research assistants, we have a
proven history of pioneering and collaborating at the forefront of
the industry.
"We're now embarking on a new era in how institutions and their
users access and consume content. We are committed to working as
closely as ever with libraries and publishers, providing the
guidance and solutions needed to meet the evolving needs of the
community."
