Maney Publishing joins NESLi2 SMP

Maney Publishing has joined the NESLi2 SMP (Small and Medium-sized Publishers) collection, which will make its Ejournals available for licensing to even more higher and further education and research communities.

The complete Ejournal collection is available, as well as Maney’s five specialist collections in Archaeology & Heritage, Health Sciences,

History & Humanities, Language & Literature, and Materials Science & Engineering.

NESLi2 SMP features e-content from 22 publishers around the world which are licensed by more than 190 higher and further education institutions and research councils.

Ben Taplin, JISC Collections Manager, commented on the agreement: “We are delighted that Maney has joined NESLi2 SMP, which offers our members high quality electronic journal content from publishers not covered by the original NESLi2 agreements. It comes with the benefits of negotiated JISC banded subscription pricing and the security of the NESLi2 model licence.”

Shelly Turner, Director of Sales and Marketing, is pleased at Maney’s inclusion in the collection: “Maney is committed to disseminating research to as wide an audience as possible, so I am really pleased that our E-journal collections will be available to the UK HE and FE institutions through NESLi2.”
