As a long-time reader of other publications using Exact Editions, I’ve admired the company’s sleek and easy-to-use platform. Issues download quickly, can be saved for offline reading on tablets, pages can be downloaded as PDFs, and our entire archive is now searchable by keyword.
In addition, Exact editions is a leader in institutional sales, so we look forward to Director being conducted in more universities and colleges. The institutional subscription features provided by the Exact Editions platform provide institutions with usage reports, MARC records, and KBART data. The advanced search function allows professors, scholars and students to search for specific keywords and articles across the entire archive.
