IGI Global, a leading international academic publisher, is excited to announce their participation at the upcoming SLA 2018 Annual Conference. Taking place at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland from June 9-13, 2018, IGI Global will be located at booth #516 from Monday-Wednesday.

IGI Global is eager to help promote SLA’s mission to “[promote] and [strengthen] its members through learning, advocacy, and networking initiatives.” Along with several prestigious universities and societies, IGI Global is excited to share some of their new librarian-focused initiatives, including the new simple, transparent pricing on their InfoSci©-Database collections, their library account program, and their new Open Access initiative.

At the booth will be Nick Newcomer, Director of Marketing, Caroline Campbell, Marketing Manager, Melissa Wagner, Managing Editor of Acquisitions, and Abdoul Amadou, International Sales Coordinator.

“We are excited to attend the SLA conference this year, and look forward to continuing our relationships with FedLink and other prominent medical, government, and corporate libraries,” stated Campbell. “Through our new database pricing, exciting content coverage, and other librarian-focused initiatives, we have customized, affordable solutions for libraries of all sizes.”

Everyone who stops by the booth can enter to win a $100 VISA giftcard. Additionally, visitors can enter in a book raffle for the IGI Global books on display and receive Hershey's chocolates.

As part of IGI Global’s dedication to ensuring researchers and scholars have access to innovative knowledge, they are introducing their new Open Access initiative. For any library that invests in an IGI Global journal database, IGI Global will match the library’s investment with a fund of equal value to go toward subsidizing the open access article processing charge (APC) for their students, faculty, and staff at that institution when their work is submitted and accepted under open access into an IGI Global journal housed within that collection.*

Additionally, the academic publisher will feature their new pricing on their award-winning InfoSci-Databases:
  • InfoSci©-Journals, a collection of 175+ journals containing thousands of peer-reviewed articles with over one million reference citations, for an annual subscription rate as low as $US 4,950.**
  • InfoSci©-Books, a collection of over 4,000 books containing 86,000 chapters, for a perpetual purchase of 2018 © for as low as, US$ 16,500.**
In addition to the price change, librarians can receive a 25% discount on these databases and all IGI Global content by signing up for a free IGI Global Library Account. This account provides librarians with an affordable and convenient way to purchase IGI Global’s growing portfolio of reference books (author and edited references, handbooks of research, encyclopedias, research insights and essentials, and casebooks) and highly-cited journals.

*The fund will be offered on an annual basis and expire at the end of the subscription period. The fund would renew as the subscription is renewed for each year thereafter. The open access fees will be waived after the student, faculty, or staff’s paper has been vetted and accepted into an IGI Global journal and the fund can only be used toward publishing OA in an IGI Global journal. Libraries in developing countries will have the match on their investment doubled.
