At Al Manhal we continuously strive to meet our customer’s budgetary requirements through flexible pricing options as follows: • Annual Subscription: Unlimited, simultaneous access to continuously growing eBook, eJournal, eTheses & eCulsters collections, by subject area or by publisher. This model presents a very affordable way for libraries to ensure that their patrons have access to the most recently published titles in a single and multi-disciplinary collection. Subscription pricing is based on the number of end-users. • Perpetual Access Purchase: One-time purchase for unlimited simultaneous access in perpetuity, to fixed eBook collections, available by subject, publisher or custom collections. Perpetual Access pricing is based on the number of titles and end-users.
Books: Our eBook collections grow in value by approximately 30% per year. We calculate the value of our books based on the publishers cover price and the age of the book in order to ensure that we apply commensurate value to newer titles. A 30% growth rate in value translates into an annual growth of the number of titles from 40% to 60% per year. Journals: Our journals database currently includes over 300 titles in the Humanities & Social Sciences, and STM. By the end of 2016, we expect to have 400 Journals online. Reports: Al Manhal publishes eReports on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, depending on the collection. We currently publish reports from 3 regional think tanks and research institutes, and expect this to grow to 20 by the end of 2016.

Zotero, the free bibliographic data manager, is hidden behind the Endnote functionality. We will be considering making it more prominent in the future.
The Plug-in Reader, referred to as ‘ebrary Reader’, has been declared discontinued and will soon be removed from the platform. Therefore, we recommend using QuickView since it is easily accessible, requires no installation, and will continue to be updated with new features.
