Increase Your Visibility and Reach

Maximise Your Impact

With 97% market coverage among academic libraries in the DACH region — supported by strong SEO and professional metadata management — your programme gains exceptional visibility and discoverability.

Access New Target Groups

Our curated, cross-audience subject collections help you reach readers beyond your core discipline and tap into adjacent fields.

A Diverse Readership

Alongside university libraries, our clients include government agencies, ministries, social and religious institutions, companies and professional associations. This ensures your publications reach precisely the audiences for whom they matter most.

First-class Service

Full Transparency

We ensure you have a clear, comprehensive view of how your content is performing. As a partner publisher, you receive detailed insights into your readership, usage patterns and the overall impact of your titles.

Effortless Collaboration

To get started, simply provide your PDF files and ONIX metadata. We take care of the rest — from file conversion and DOI assignment to ongoing reporting and performance monitoring.

Personal Points of Contact

Our specialist team is always on hand to support you directly — whether it’s metadata delivery, marketing questions or technical assistance. You will have dedicated contacts in every area.

Empowering Independent Publishers

Strong Partners

As an Inlibra partner, you join a community of independent, high-quality publishers. Together, we strengthen our position in the market and maintain our independence from large international publishing groups.

Collective Distribution

Instead of competing with one another, all partners benefit from a shared distribution model. We reach the entire market through B2B sales, targeted marketing activities, and framework agreements and partnerships.

You Stay in Control

As a partner, you retain full control over your sales — our collaboration is strictly non-exclusive. Pricing decisions remain entirely with you, and you continue to own all rights to your data.
