The R2 Digital Library SaaS database leverages the intersection
where technology meets scientific, technical, and medical (STM) information
aggregation.
Powered by a proprietary digital rights and content management
system that indexes information using a medical keyword vocabulary, our
subject-driven platform empowers users to search and access peer-reviewed,
editorially vetted electronic publications from more than 110 STM
publishers, all within a single query.
Save time and money with an aggregated database versus having to
find and license content from individual publishers.
Usage analytics offer real-time updates, pricing transparency,
and records of actual user access which empower informed purchases of
titles in use, and not just requested.
The R2 Digital Library enables direct access to evidence-based
knowledge and practices, which contribute to improved health outcomes,
innovative research, and an enhanced educational experience.

R2 Digital Library Collection Evolution:

Digital Library Archives.
You will be notified when a new edition is available for
purchase.
Institutional Branding: add your unique logo and message.
Digital Rights Management
Any section can be printed, exported, emailed, or saved.
To comply with publishers’ copyright policies, during a session
level, if an eBook receives more than 60 print or email requests or 20% of
the total number of HTML pages that compromises the resource on the R2
Digital Library over a 24-hour period, then print functionality will be
temporarily suspended for that resource.
Patrons will receive a notification upon crossing the 75%
threshold of allowable print requests. If printing is suspended for a
resource, all administrators associated with an account are notified.
Access to the resource remains available, but printing and emailing will be suspended for a 24 hour period.
