Maney Publishing Introduces 

MORE Licensing Options

Leeds, UK, 3 May 2005

Maney Publishing, an independent publisher of quality from Leeds in the UK, especially known for titles in materials science, languages and literature, archaeology and history, and biomedical science has announced its new electronic licensing options.

Maney has introduced the MORE (Maney Online Research E-Journals) licensing options to meet clients' needs for stable pricing models that reduce the unit cost of information whilst at the same time expanding access to a wider range of electronic content. See www.maney.co.uk/online/journals for a full list of titles available. 

MORE licensing options have been designed to suit the differing needs of academic institutions and consortia worldwide. Licensing the full collection of electronic journals represents the best value for money for multidisciplinary universities and library consortia wishing to provide the greatest breadth of content to their users.  More specialist institutions may choose to license specific electronic journals in their particular area of specialism.

Michael Gallico, Managing Director of Maney Publishing, states:
 

“We are pleased to be able to offer both our existing and new subscribers a more flexible, value for money way to access our journal content. In particular we are proud to be a part of the transition from print to online in humanities publishing.”

The MORE licensing options offer increased value to institutions and library consortia wishing to access a wider range of content and represent significant value for money.

Each MORE licence contains a range of standard and easily understood clauses to satisfy the requirements of different customers whether they are single or multi-site institutions, or library consortia, and can be viewed at www.maney.co.uk/licensing 
 

Regardless of which MORE licensing option is chosen, anyone entering into a licensing agreement with Maney Publishing will benefit from the following:

• Electronic access which includes the full text archive of the journals
• Guaranteed quality content -- the journals are peer reviewed and regularly cited in BIOSIS, MEDLINE, Science Citation Index, Materials Abstracts and Social Sciences Citations Index
