	Monographs from Canadian publishers organized for the digital library

Publishers

By placing a copy of every CEL title in hundreds of libraries throughout Canada and the world, the CEL offers publishers an additional way of creating awareness and visibility for titles and authors.

Through its sophisticated fulltext search capabilities, the CEL offers unmatched access to the contents of each title, leading users to the serendipitous discoveries that are such a vital part of the web experience, and which are demanded by this generation of users.

And by providing instant access to all titles in the collection, the CEL offers a degree of user satisfaction that is rare in the library world, where normally discovery of a resource leads to a wait for its delivery.

Because the online experience is not conducive to cover-to-cover reading, all of this comes with little expense and no downside risk to the publisher. Once alerted to the existence of a book, author or idea through CEL, the user requiring full content will turn to his bookstore or library for a print copy.

To join the CEL, a publisher signs a non-exclusive license agreement. There is no cost for participation, and all terms under which titles are included in the collection are controlled by the publisher. Titles may be removed from the service without penalty, and sales models and viewing restrictions may be set by individual title.

How can I see and review the titles available in CEL from a specific publisher?

"McGill-Queen's University Press and its associates have published over 1500 titles in the past four decades which are key resources for Canadian Studies programs. This project allows us to make these all available to Canadian university library users in digital form, thereby renewing their vitality and building new awareness for the titles and their authors."

Philip Cercone, Director
McGill-Queen's University Press

"At UBC Press we have been offering digital rights from our catalogue on an experimental basis for the past few years. We are particularly pleased with this program, which allows us to release a significant portion of our backlist for licensing to Canadian institutions through a Canadian entity."

Peter Milroy, Director
UBC Press
