From celeste.feather at lyrasis.org Thu Mar 7 15:18:06 2013 From: celeste.feather at lyrasis.org (Celeste Feather) Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 15:18:06 -0500 Subject: [Lyrarl] UPSO, MUSE, and HUP ebooks Message-ID: <2292A4BA7D7F2849B5C69093E659924B2477528788@lyraatlexec> I've been in communication with a lot of you about the three university press ebook offers from the ARL Licensing Initiative in the past few weeks, so I'm aware of the flurry of activity in your libraries! Here's a reminder of the deadlines and an update on how things stand at the moment. 1. Deadline: March 15, 2013 University Press Scholarship Online collections hosted by Oxford University Press Oxford has agreed that we can confirm orders at the discount level designated for 50-74 participating libraries in the pricing spreadsheet. Interest seems to be mostly in the 2013 collections. For these the discount is 25% off list for the "pick and choose by publisher or subject" option, and 30% off list for the entire 2013 collection of all publishers and all subjects. 2. Deadline: March 31, 2013 Project MUSE/UPCC Collections The special "Early Adopter Offer" for the 2013 Collection that includes 2,920 titles being published this year, and the "2013 Top-off Offer" for the libraries that purchased all MUSE/UPCC content in 2012 are attracting the most attention from ARL and other large research libraries. 3. Deadline: April 30, 2013 Harvard University Press at De Gruyter Online We need 10 more libraries to reach the 30+ participant level of discount. So far we have a group of participants ranging from small community college libraries to ARL libraries. These collections have broad appeal. If you are considering a purchase of the HUP collections, please let me know. I'd like to reach the 30+ participant discount at 12% off list soon so that we can make these collections affordable for as many libraries as possible.

A reminder of the next deadline in our line-up of ebook offers: Project MUSE/UPCC eBook Special Offers for large research libraries will end on March 31. Since this day is actually a Sunday, we will be able to place the last orders with MUSE on Monday, April 1, 2013. If you are planning to order under the terms of any of the special offers, please let me know as soon as possible. 2. We have just reached the deepest level of discount for the Harvard University Press/De Gruyter collections! We now have 32 confirmed participants. I will be talking with De Gruyter soon about the possibility of setting another discount level at 50 participants, so the pricing may even go lower. I will keep you posted as matters progress. 3. The Independent Voices open access initiative from Reveal Digital that I mentioned earlier on this list now has 26 supporting libraries, many of them ARL members, and Reveal reports that if about 10 more libraries indicate support by the end of April, they will be able to release the earliest collections before the targeted date in July, 2013. Jeff Moyer of Reveal will be at the LYRASIS booth (#1032) at ACRL on Thursday, April 11, from 12:00-2:00 p.m. if anyone would like to stop by and discuss this interesting project with him.
