ProQuest Introduces “Access-to-Own” Demand-Driven Ebook Acquisition Model

New model applies rental spend toward ebook ownership

 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, November 4, 2015 – In collaboration with libraries and publishers around the world, ProQuest will pilot a new ebook acquisition model called “Access-to-Own,” the latest in a series of flexible access models offered by the industry-leading information solutions provider.
