Elsevier to launch new Health Sciences eBooks

Elsevier, the world's leading publisher of scientific, technical, and medical information products and services, announced today that nearly 250 health sciences titles published and/or publishing in 2009 and 2010 will be launched in October.  These new eBook collections cover clinical content in clinical medicine, veterinary medicine, and health professions, furthering Elsevier's commitment to making health sciences content available electronically through ScienceDirect, its online scientific research platform. These new eBook collections follow the May release of titles published from 2000 to 2008, bringing the total Health Sciences eBooks on ScienceDirect to greater than 870 titles.

Elsevier's Health Sciences books are published under the imprints W.B. Saunders, Mosby, Churchill Livingstone, and Hanley & Belfus, publishers with a rich medical and health science publishing heritage dating back to 1688.  The inclusion of these books on ScienceDirect allows even more researchers across the world to access these valuable content resources.

Until May of this year, Elsevier's medical and health sciences book titles had only been available through MD Consult (http://www.mdconsult.com) for clinical practitioners and medical education, Evolve eBooks  (http://evolve.elsevier.com/ebooks) for health professions education, and Veterinary Consult (http://evolve.elsevier.com/vetconsult) for veterinary medicine education.  The thousands of authors represented in the Elsevier medical and health sciences collections on ScienceDirect can now enjoy greater market visibility, increasing the potential for research collaboration and recognition.

"Elsevier is dedicated to strategically expanding its electronic content offerings, making an even wider range of current, high-quality medical books available via ScienceDirect," commented Linda Belfus, Senior Vice President, Global Clinical Reference, Health Sciences.  "The launch of our 2009 and 2010 collections provides an important opportunity for researchers across the globe to gain access to our clinical medicine titles."

Linda Duncan, Vice President and Publisher, Nursing & Health Professions, Health Sciences, added "Elsevier's expansion of eBooks in key health science areas such as physical therapy, optometry, and veterinary medicine on ScienceDirect allows us to meet the needs of our customers by providing a greater variety of the most current resources available through a platform they know and trust."

The addition of the Elsevier Health Sciences 2009 and 2010 eBook Collections follows the successful launch of over 600 Health Sciences titles published from 2000 to 2008 and further contributes to the evolution of the ScienceDirect platform into a comprehensive and complete source of global scientific knowledge.
