Bavarian Consortium, a leading library consortium across Germany, has negotiated with IGI Global to offer unparalleled, discounted e-Collections pricing to member libraries, including both perpetual and EBA options, enabling affordable access to the most pressing and in-demand research.
Our e-Collections provide access to the most pressing and in-demand topics, which are meticulously curated to address the pulse of current trends and contemporary realities with research published within an impressive 6-9 months, while the traditional publishing timeline requires 3+ years for a book to be published. As a result, these collections provide provide cutting-edge insights before the research becomes outdated. This collaboration provides Bavarian Consortium member libraries with flexible acquisition models to provide their faculty with unparalleled access to the most pressing research at a fraction of the cost. The discounts the consortium has negotiated are available on our comprehensive e-Book Collection, as well as our subject-specific Business & Management; Scientific, Technical, & Medical (STM); and Education e-Book Collections.
If your institution is a member of the Bavarian Consortium and you are interested in learning more about how to participate, or if you would like information regarding IGI Global’s flexible consortia agreements, please contact Cheyenne Heckermann, e-Collections Specialist Coordinator at
