Acquisitions Models to Fit Your Budget
We work closely with libraries to provide flexible purchasing option to allow collection building aligned with user demand:
Pick and choose title acquisition
Subject Collections
Evidence-based acquisition, including OpenEBA and other models
Smaller themed Signature collections tailored to your needs
Signature CollectionsSignature Collections are thematically curated packages of recent titles from Peter Lang’s library eBook catalog. Each
collection is organized around a popular and coveted topic area in the humanities and social sciences, featuring carefully
selected monographs and edited volumes that represent the most current, internationally diverse scholarship available.
The program is designed for academic libraries and institutional buyers looking for a focused, efficient way to strengthen
acquisitions in areas where research demand is accelerating.
WHAT MAKES SIGNATURE COLLECTIONS DIFFERENT?
A Living Collection That Grows With You
A Signature Collection isn’t just a one-time buy. As Peter Lang releases new books that match the collection themes
throughout the year, those books are carefully chosen and added automatically to your existing collection, without extra
charge. New titles are included at the end of each year. This way, the collection stays up-to-date and continues to be
valuable long after you buy it.
Open Access Commitment
For every Signature Collection sold, Peter Lang selects one title from within that collection and makes it openly accessible
and available to readers everywhere.
