Libraries at academic institutions are to be given the chance to subscribe to online versions of popular magazines for the first time.
Web-based magazine distribution company Exact Editions, which describes its aim as "bringing magazines into the digital age", has launched a service that allows subscribers to view digital editions of the publications.
Unlike the websites run by the magazines, which typically contain related content, a digital edition is a replica of the current print edition available in the shops, complete with photographs and advertising, and allows the user to flip through the pages on screen.
It is the first time that popular magazines such as Prospect, The Ecologist and The New Internationalist have been offered in this way.
