New York, New York – Magzter announces its partnership with WT Cox Information Services to provide thousands of North American and International digital magazines to US library patrons via the Magzter Digital Library Program. As part of the initial release, Magzter will initially be offering digital magazines from more than 35 countries across more than 25 global languages.
The Magzter Digital Library Program allows patrons to check out and read popular domestic and International consumer titles in digital format when libraries participate in this new program. Based on research, Magzter has put together a competitive pricing model that will be significantly more profitable for publishers, while also being at a lower cost to libraries. Libraries are welcoming this program as it comes to them at no upfront cost and enables the patrons to read the magazines on any device.
Library patrons can access titles via the Magzter APP (Apple IOS, Android (Google Play), Windows and many more) or a web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome, etc). The Magzter Digital Library Program gives libraries unlimited check-outs and usage details by title and user, which assists in the ability to quantify digital collection purchases. It’s also a win-win for Publishers, as it will be a new revenue stream from an untapped user base.
“From the inception of digitally formatted magazines, libraries have searched for the best way to provide digital titles to their patrons while also controlling costs and levels of access. WT Cox is proud to be partnering with Magzter to provide this solution to our library customers and publishers”, said Michael Markwith, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“We are at that crucial juncture in the evolution of a new reading pattern that will emerge soon and become the norm in years to follow. At Magzter, we believe that this is a significant step forward considering how libraries are a repository of critical information for research as well as for building up our knowledge quotient. Our goal is to share with the library community the simplicity and ease of digitization while offering a space-saving and cost-effective solution. We believe that our new program will not only be revolutionary in terms of style and grandeur, but transparent for all involved”, said Aaron Wall, Director of Strategic Alliances.
