I know the interest has been building about the new offer from Oxford for 2011-2013 University Press Scholarship (UPSO), and I am glad to be able to share the details with you now. I've attached a memo that provides a thorough explanation of the offer and some commentary about the license negotiations that occurred in order to bring the license into compliance with ARL requirements. This is another "more-the-merrier" type of offer with greater discounts as more libraries participate. The deadline to express your intention to order is February 28, 2013, so we have only three months to gather a large group of participants. Any purchase of any size counts toward the participation goal, and there are lots of price points and collections of different sizes available in this offer.

Oxford has scheduled two 40 minute webinars (same agenda for both) about this offer and UPSO in general, and I encourage you to have a representative at one of the sessions. The registration links are below for the two sessions (Dec. 6 and 11), and please pay careful attention to the alternative links for registrants outside the Eastern Time Zone.

The agenda for the webinars is as follows:

1)      Intro to UPSO and why OUP undertook this program (Niko Pfund, President, OUP USA)
2)      View from the Partner Presses (short presentation from a partner press director)
3)       Introduction to the UPSO site  and how it differs from other ebook platforms (Jessica Chesnutt, Online Product Specialist, OUP)
4)      Content overview and offer overview (Rebecca Seger, Director of Institutional Sales, OUP)
5)      Marketing support for the library (Annabel  Coles, Marketing Manager, OUP)
6)      Questions and answers
