Novelist
Novelist/EBSCO Information Services is the leading service provider of
e-journal, e-book and e-journal package and print subscriptions,
e-resource management tools, full-text and secondary databases, and related services for all types of libraries and research organizations.
In its seventh decade of business, Novelist/EBSCO upholds relationships with more than 79,000 publishers globally. These publisher relationships uniquely position them to streamline many aspects of the e-resource life cycle. EBSCO maintains a Dun & Bradstreet financial strength rating of 5A1, the highest awarded, which underscores the importance they place on providing outstanding, ethical service.
As the mission of Novelist/EBSCO is to help create a community of readers, it should not be surprising that they are also interested in helping to create and improve the community in which they live and work? Perhaps Novelist Campaign Leader Brittany Bryan expressed the sentiment best, as she emailed a post campaign thank you note to her fellow employees with the last sentences being: “Your generosity is inspirational. Thank you so much for thinking of others and working toward creating a better Triangle.”
One of the two significant benchmarks in this category was Novelist’s "Increase in CCF per capita”, going from $248 per employee in 2006 to
$685 per employee in 2007. The other significant metric shows a CCF increase of 4% in 2007, growing from 88% to 92% of the combined employee and corporate gifts. Novelist had a tremendous employee participation rate of 70%.
