Elsevier plans to launch 4,000 scientific and technical books online next year, a major expansion to the resources already available on STM database ScienceDirect .
The expanded programme will include ebook titles published since 1995, with approximately 50 titles added to the ebooks list on ScienceDirect each month. Currently over 2,000 journals published by Elsevier are available.
"The success of Elsevier's reference works , handbooks and book series on ScienceDirect proves that librarians and researchers see huge advantages in the availability of electronic book and journal content, fully linked and cross-searchable from one platform," said Joep Verheggen, director of ScienceDirect.
