[Lyrarl] UPSO, MUSE, HUP, and a helpful table

[Celeste Feather]

Here's a concise summary and reminder of the offers now on the table through the ARL Licensing Initiative. I realize that there was a flurry of activity near the end of the year and thought that you might find this information helpful as you return to work from the holiday season.

University Press Scholarship Online from Oxford University Press
Many collections available in 25 subjects, 11 presses, and 3 years (2011-2013)
Highest discounts are 45-60% off list depending on collection if we gather at least 126 libraries
ARL libraries are priced by FTE tiers
4% administrative fee applied to orders per the ARL/LYRASIS contract, and lowered if a $1.5 million threshold is reached (previously misstated as 5%!)

4% administrative fee applied orders per the ARL/LYRASIS contract, and lowered if a $1.5 million threshold is reached (previously misstated as 5%!)

Also, here's a link to the latest version of my tracking file (http://bit.ly/WzjdTM)  that shows which North American university presses have content at the major university press ebook hosting sites that have been developed recently. I hope this file is useful to you as you consider your options to acquire this content. Most of the major presses in terms of annual ebook output are already hosting their content at one of these sites.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions or help in any way.
