Karger Publishers Provides Broader Access
to Medical eBook Collection in France

Thirty-eight new medical eBook titles are now available
under French national licence through a new agreement with CollEx-Persée

Karger Publishers is pleased to announce that 38 new medical eBook titles are available under French national licence, as part of the GIS CollEx-Persée acquisitions program. This project to acquire Karger’s eBooks on medicine was led by Université Paris Cité, Université Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier and Abes, with the support of the Couperin.org consortium and INIST-CNRS.

Broadening the Readership of High-Quality Medical Content
The collection of 133 medical eBooks from Karger Publishers acquired by the national library network CollEx-Persée in 2020 has been updated and expanded to include 38 medical eBook titles published between 2020 and 2023. They were recently selected by a panel of researchers to augment the 2015-2019 collection previously purchased.

All higher education and research institutions in France, as well as the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, now have access to a total of 171 volumes on the Karger platform.

“Making research more easily accessible is our highest priority,” says Christian Box, Head of Academic & Research Markets at Karger Publishers. “This new agreement underscores our commitment to serve the broader medical community through high-quality content from which everyone can benefit.”

The agreement with the CollEx-Persée acquisitions program is an important step toward broadening the readership of high-quality medical content, thereby serving the scientific research community by guaranteeing perpetual access to the acquired content.
