Chicago Distribution Center (cdc) Partners With Tizra

摘要

CDC, a division of the University of Chicago Press and one of the nation's largest distributors of scholarly and professional books, has signed an agreement with Tizra, which provides technical infrastructure and support for online publishing endeavors, that will enable CDC publishers to sell subscriptions to online books. The joint venture will pilot in summer 2008 with the University of Chicago Press and other CDC publishers and will use the services of Bibliovault~R, the CDC's digital repository for not-for-profit publishers. "The demand for access to scholarly content online is increasing both in the academic community and among the general public", reported Carol Kasper, Marketing Director of the Books Division at Chicago. "Bibliovault~R is a cooperative venture between members of the scholarly publishing community, and the University of Chicago Press is very pleased that it can be used to facilitate online access to Chicago content and that of our CDC client presses".
