EBSCO Publishing to Accept Content from Quality, Free, Email Newsletters

RSS   Free Newsletters  
SUMMARY: No summary available
EBSCO Publishing, a well-established content aggregator
selling research databases to libraries and the academic
marketplace, has begun licensing content from high-quality
free email newsletters that fit its profile. This is a
breakthrough for the ezine publishing community, which
heretofore has been largely ignored by traditional aggregators
and databases.

Steve MacRae, EBSCO Publishing's Director of Strategic
Alliances told ContentBiz, "In the past we weren't adding
them, but now we're looking at free email newsletters as
another great source of quality content. We'll talk to them
and treat them just like any other new content provider. We
can work together very quickly to get a deal in place.
They'll get quarterly royalty checks ranging from several
hundred to several thousand dollars per year." It's not
going to make publishers wealthy, but for most people every
incremental growth in income is welcome.

MacRae is specifically seeking titles that average at least a
dozen new articles per month, have "strong editorial control,"
and are on topics corporate, medical, academic or public
libraries would be interested in. To learn more, contact
