This provides permanent access to issues for researchers, students, and the general public. A magazine’s content becomes more discoverable and is easier to access in libraries’ digital repositories, increasing long-term visibility.
• Subscription Models and Free Access for Readers: Libraries can offer free access to magazines for readers who may not be able to afford a subscription.

8. Sustainability and Long-Term Impact

• Alignment with Educational Goals: Partnering with libraries aligns magazine publishers with educational and cultural goals, reinforcing their role as knowledge providers and contributors to societal development. This long-term alignment with educational missions can help ensure sustainable growth and continued support from libraries and educational institutions.
