E-Journal Excitement! Macedonia Universities Get Access to Massive Amounts of Publications

The Macedonian Ministry of Education, together with the University “St. Kliment Ohridski” and four other state universities have signed an agreement with EBSCO Publishing that grants them access to 14 databases of academic e-journals. Together, these databases encompass 50,000 journals (18,000 of which are full access journals), 300,000 e-books, 10,000 biographies, and 270,000 photos, maps, and other documents.

According to the Minister of Education Pance Kralev, access to such a huge number of reference material will highly improve the working conditions of academic staff in Macedonia’s universities, and it will enhance the quality of higher education.

EBSCO, established in 1944, is the leading database and e-book provider, with more than 375 full-text and secondary research databases and more than 300,000 eBooks and audiobooks available via the EBSCOhost platform. EBSCOhost is one of the most widely used free database sites, getting up to 100 million page views per day. It fulfills the research needs of millions of users across many sectors: from K-12 students to public library clients, from academic, corporate, and medical researchers to clinicians and governments around the world.
