Quick Summary
We are pleased to introduce a new option for accessing BioOne Complete: the BioOne Complete Archive. It includes permanent access to all subscribed content more than five years old and comprises more than 135,000 articles from 177 titles and 129 publishers. In other words, the Archive is a critical mass of content covering all our subject areas. Institutions who prefer to invest one-time funds rather than an annual spend will find this a great way to get into BioOne Complete, and provide your users access to a large library of content.
This year, in partnership with BioOne, we are also pleased to introduce a new option for accessing BioOne Complete: the BioOne Complete Archive. It includes permanent access to all subscribed content more than five years old and comprises more than 135,000 articles from 177 titles and 129 publishers. In other words, the Archive is a critical mass of content covering all our subject areas.
Institutions who prefer to invest one-time funds rather than an annual spend will find this a great way to get into BioOne Complete, and provide your users access to a large library of content.
Alternatively, for existing subscribers, this is a path to expanding your permanent electronic holdings. Current subscribers with existing access through the annual subscription maintain post-cancellation access to all BioOne Complete content published during the years of the library’s active subscription. However, for any libraries looking to secure permanent access to the full breadth of content beginning in 1996, we are pleased to offer the BioOne Complete Archive as an appropriate complement to those holdings. To be clear, this won’t cause any changes to existing subscription access; this is simply a way to guarantee continued access to the entire collection through ownership of the backfile.
In terms of pricing, all quotes are custom, so please contact BioOne for pricing to get this added to your library’s Wish List today. Subscribers with existing post-cancellation access will specifically receive prorated quotes that account for their existing ownership of BioOne.1 and BioOne.2 based on invoicing records. If you have specific data about how far your access goes back, please feel free to include those details when you reach out for a quote.
We are also pleased to offer a 5% discount on all archive purchases through [[Consortia Name]], and 2021 base pricing is honored if you’re able to proceed with the Archive purchase before the end of the year.
Additional details about permanent access to the BioOne Complete Archive, along with current title lists, can be found by visiting the BioOne Complete Archive webpage. An overview and comparison of all institutional options can also be found here.
Please feel free to direct any quote requests directly to Chelsea Tharp (chelsea@bioone.org) and we’ll be happy to help facilitate the final purchase through our consortium once you’re ready to proceed.
