ProQuest and EBSCO Information Services have extended their existing e-book partnership, which will continue to enable librarians to acquire ProQuest e-book titles through EBSCO’s GOBI Library Solutions platform, as well as EBSCO e-book titles through ProQuest’s OASIS platform, and – in the future – the ProQuest Rialto marketplace, currently under development.
This relationship was originally announced in 2015 after EBSCO acquired YBP Library Solutions and its GOBI platform, and ProQuest acquired Coutts and its MyiLibrary and OASIS platforms. The partnership has now been extended for an additional four years. There will be no changes to customer contracts or account contacts. The agreement allows librarians to continue to purchase titles from the vendor of their choice within their preferred ordering platforms.
