Tap into ScienceDirect‘s vast repository of knowledge on an as-needed basis. ScienceDirect ArticleChoice provides a flexible way to access the 11 million+ articles on the ScienceDirect platform. Pay only for the articles you need, when you need them. WiLS has partnered with ScienceDirect to get a significant discount for it’s members. WiLS institutions pay $19.50 per article; a savings of more than 30% under list price!
All article purchases already include royalty fees, so for that flat price you get instant, copyright compliant, content for your users. WiLS will bill your institution quarterly only for the articles you’ve downloaded.
Contact Jeff () today to learn how you can take advantage of this great service!
Harness the collective knowledge of Wisconsin librarians by joining us for one of six regional community meetings hosted by WiLS! Connect with colleagues from around your region to get perspective and advice on upcoming projects or current challenges. Hear what others are doing to move their library service forward in spite of shrinking budgets. Share your stories about interesting initiatives and collaborate with others on theirs. These free events are open to anyone, of any library type…and your partner organizations, too. There will probably be cookies!
