GOBI Library Solutions from EBSCO now supports e-books on the Cairn.info platform, making more than 13,000 DRM-free title-by-title social sciences and humanities French eBooks available through GOBI. All titles on the Cairn.info platform offer DRM-free, unlimited simultaneous user access and are available worldwide.
Cairn.info, established in 2005 by a group of academic publishing houses (PUF-Belin, De Boeck, Gallimard, La Découverte and Erès), offers a broad range of social sciences and humanities publications from francophone publishers. Cairn.info's services cover both the production and distribution of digital publications, as well as promotion to the audiences for which they are intended, in the French-speaking world and beyond.
This partnership increases choice for libraries by expanding the non-English language content available in GOBI. The addition of Cairn.info as an e-book supplier solidifies GOBI’s commitment to providing the broadest choice of e-book platforms in one place.
EBSCO Information Services Director of Content Strategies, Jon Elwell, says that this partnership will enhance GOBI’s non-English collection of e-books available to libraries worldwide. “Collaborating with suppliers like Cairn.info allows us to meet the content needs of institutions globally while providing libraries with even more choice when selecting suppliers and e-book platforms within GOBI.”
Cairn.info Director of Institutional Relations, Jérémie Roche says that making Cairn.info’s collection of francophone e-books available through GOBI allows for institutions worldwide to conveniently acquire and offer French language content. “This partnership allows us to provide French-speaking students and researchers with thousands of DRM-free title-by-title e-books available through GOBI.”
