Salem Press

Formerly, most institutions were compelled to select either ebook, online database or printed versions of the reference they need. Choosing both print and electronic editions has been prohibitively expensive, in spite of the clear benefits of offering both to students and patrons. No longer. Salem Press has changed the way reference is delivered. Our Salem Health and Salem History programs provide both print and online access to full reference content for the price of print alone.

The online database includes a number of up-to-the-minute features:

Free with print purchase

Fully supported

Free access through 12/31/2011

Unlimited users at your library

Full access from home or dorm room

Immediate access via online registration

A simple, intuitive interface

User profile areas for students and patrons

Sophisticated search functions

Complete content, including appendixes

Fully illustrated

Salem Health
Salem Health is a new online resource that is free to libraries and schools purchasing the printed versions of Salem's healthcare reference. Each of the resources is directed toward patients, family and healthcare providers and comes from the award-winning team that publishes Magill's Medical Guide. Buyers may choose any or all of these reference works to build the print and online health library they desire.

A REMARKABLE FUTURE
Over the next three years Salem will expand on the Guide's content, adding specialty health-related reference to the growing Salem Health library. Purchasers of these reference titles will see their online resources grow accordingly. Scheduled for future release:

Salem Health: Cancer
Salem Health: Psychology & Mental Health
Salem Health: Genetics & Inherited Diseases
Salem Health: Infectious Diseases & Conditions
Salem Health: Addictions & Substance Abuse
Salem Health: Nutrition & Eating Disorders

Salem History
Salem History is a robust online database that includes the complete content of a growing number of our printed reference sets, free. Purchasing printed reference delivers online access at no additional cost. Salem currently offers this service with four historical reference sets:

Milestone Documents - A new, primary source series.

The Decades - Salem's critically acclaimed American history series.

Great Lives from History - The worldwide biographical resource.

Great Events from History - History throughout the centuries.

RETROACTIVE BENEFITS
Many Salem customers already own reference sets from the Decades series and from Great Lives and Great Events series. Good news: those colleges, schools and public libraries that already own some or all of the previously published titles in each series automatically qualify to access the earlier works' content free, once the newest title is purchased. Plus, Salem is offering special, "collection development" discounts to those who wish to complete their collection of titles in any or all these series.
