July 06, 2026. With the Rialto July Release, we are excited to introduce the Rialto Referral Model, a new approach designed to expand choice and flexibility for the Rialto community by connecting libraries with a broader ecosystem of trusted providers.

As part of this release, we are pleased to announce that Browns Books Print is now available via the Rialto Referral Model, bringing expanded print acquisition options directly into your Rialto workflow.

"The Referral Model is an important step forward in how we extend Rialto's value," said Judith Fraenkel, Director of Product Management at Clarivate. "It allows us to introduce new providers and content types efficiently while maintaining a seamless experience for libraries."

Through this model, Rialto continues to evolve as a central market for library acquisitions, enabling institutions to benefit from greater supplier diversity without added complexity, while preserving the efficiencies of title-by-title selection and ordering seamlessly within Alma. The experience remains fully integrated with Alma, Leganto and Rapido.

Ashley Stafford, Managing Director stated:

"We're delighted to bring Browns Books Print to the Rialto platform, expanding our relationship with Clarivate following our work together on publisher direct eBooks. This feels like a natural next step in our shared commitment to making print and digital acquisition as seamless and accessible as possible for institutions of all sizes, allowing the acquisition and management of collections in one place without added complexity"

We look forward to continuing to grow the Rialto ecosystem and supporting your collection development needs with increased flexibility and choice.
