Through the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) consortium, member libraries of the Collaborative Initiative for French Language Collections (CIFNAL) can now subscribe to OpenEdition Freemium for Journals (OEFJ) at a preferential rate.This offer includes a subscription to a bundle of 143 peer-reviewed humanities and social science journals (HSS), open access to all content on the platform (in HTML format) and unlimited downloads of PDFs and ePubs (premium offer). High-quality associated services make it easy to integrate content into catalogues and library discovery tools.This partnership is the fruit of North American libraries’ expression of interest in the journals included in the OEFJ offer. Its aim is to enrich digital resources in the French-language research domain, which are particularly well represented within the OpenEdition journal bundle. The bundle includes the following publishers: Collège de France, CNRS Editions, Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle, École Française de Rome, Éditions de l’École normale supérieure de Lyon (ENS), Éditions de la maison des sciences de l’homme, Presses universitaires du Midi and Éditions de l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), etc.CIFNAL is currently examining the possibility of expanding this agreement to OpenEdition Books. OpenEdition brings together a vast array of resources, namely 400 journals, two thirds of which are in open access, over 2,600 online books, an academic blogging platform for researchers, and announcements of academic events. Available in a variety of languages, these resources cover the full disciplinary range of the humanities and social sciences (history, sociology, anthropology, political science, literature, etc.) and all of the regions of the world, particularly Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East and Latin America.About CRL / CIFNALThe Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is an international consortium of university, college and independent research libraries in the United States and Canada.
