Edinburgh University Press Signs Three-Year Agreement with SHEDL

From a press release issued by Edinburgh University Press on Jan. 27, 2010:

Edinburgh University Press has entered into a three year agreement with the Scottish Higher Education Digital Library (SHEDL) to provide access to all EUP journals for all of the nineteen SHEDL member institutions in Scotland.

SHEDL was set up in 2009 to provide uniform access across all Scottish Higher Education Institutions, it started by licensing journal content from three publishers and has expanded considerably for 2010. SHEDL operates as a closed consortium, enabling researchers to have access to the same titles wherever they are based. This is vital to the Research Pools operated in Scotland which consist of researchers from different institutions working together but reliant on the online information that they receive from their home library.

The Edinburgh University Press agreement, running from January 2010 until 2012, will enable researchers in Scotland to access all Edinburgh University Press journals, including leading Scottish History journals Scottish Historical Review and Journal of Scottish Historical Studies, highly regarded publications in literary studies including, Oxford Literary Review, Paragraph and Romanticism, and the journal of the Society for the History of Natural History, Archives of Natural History.
