Kortext partners with Rialto, expanding access to digital content for libraries
London, 24 November 2025 – Kortext and Rialto are delighted to announce their partnership, bringing millions of new digital titles into the Rialto marketplace. This move will provide libraries with more choice, greater flexibility and seamless acquisition via Rialto’s new referral model.
Through this collaboration, libraries will gain easy access to Kortext’s 3.5 million monographs and textbooks. Kortext is Rialto’s first eTextbook platform and this development is in direct response to feedback from library partners seeking diverse models to support their needs.
Kortext has been a trusted partner to libraries for over a decade, offering a comprehensive catalogue of digital content through a wide range of licence models. Its market-leading study platform gives learners an accessible, customisable reading experience, with analytics for institutions to support data-driven decision-making and enhance student engagement.
Rialto empowers libraries with a centralised, vendor-neutral marketplace that streamlines collection development and acquisition. Its integrated workflows enable informed decisions, cost-effective access and seamless end-to-end fulfilment. The new referral model enables direct engagement with provider platforms for efficient and enhanced content acquisition.
‘We are excited to partner with Clarivate’s Rialto team to broaden eBook acquisition solutions for current and future Rialto customers covering perpetual access eBook titles while bringing advanced study tools and sophisticated analytics into mainstream library supply to improve both the library and the learner user experience.’
