From celeste.feather at lyrasis.org Thu Aug 9 12:00:03 2012 From: celeste.feather at lyrasis.org (Celeste Feather) Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 12:00:03 -0400 Subject: [Lyrarl] Discussions with De Gruyter, OUP, and JSTOR Message-ID: <2292A4BA7D7F2849B5C69093E659924B1F2BEEECE8@lyraatlexec> All, As we approach the August 31 conclusion of our first ARL special offer for Project MUSE ebooks, I want to keep you posted about other conversations we are having regarding other university press collections. We will of course work with MUSE on pricing for 2013 collections when they are ready to discuss that in the early fall. Oxford University Press announced this morning that they have signed the University of Chicago Press for ebook content on Oxford's UPSO platform. The other major press they have signed is the University of California Press. They are very interested in working on an ARL offer and we are in frequent communication now. Oxford would like to make an offer for their own content and that of the other university presses at UPSO. De Gruyter is representing Harvard University Press and hosting 2011-2012 frontlist content at De Gruyter Online. They have a lot of flexibility and are very willing to negotiate an ARL offer for HUP content. We are continuing to work with JSTOR, but things are moving more slowly on that front.

Portico has been TRAC certified by the Center for Research Libraries (CRL). > > Project MUSE is absorbing all costs associated with archiving and preserving the UPCC book assets on Portico. > > We will be asking each UPCC partner publisher to sign a Rider to their Johns Hopkins University Press E-Book Resale Agreement that grants us the right to provide their content to Portico. A copy of that Rider is attached. We have also developed, with input from Alex, a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document that will accompany the Rider. Please let me know if you have any comments on the FAQ. We would like to circulate copies of both the Rider and FAQ to the UPCC presses in early September. We hope to begin submitting book files and metadata to Portico in October. > > All the best, > > T > > > > terry ehling | associate director | project muse > johns hopkins university press > 2715 north charles street | baltimore md 21218 > tae at press.jhu.edu | 410 516 6966 > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
