[Lyrarl] Aug. 29 Deadline for HUP eBook Archives Purchases

[Celeste Feather]

Linda,

Thanks for pointing this out. I will mention this to De Gruyter. They get their information from the press, of course, and it may be that the press reps are unaware of the pre-1923 content at these two sites since they probably were not involved in putting it there.

Of the 2795 titles in the HUP ebook archives, 89 were published prior to 1923.

And as a reminder to all - the HUP ebook archives deadline is Friday, Aug. 29.

Hi Celeste,

  I'm pretty sure we will buy the Religion package, and I'm waiting to hear if any selectors here want any other sub-collections.

  I'm afraid it's not quite accurate to see that all these titles are not available online from another source.  I spot checked Religion and every pre-1923 title is in Hathi Trust or the Internet Archive.

  Be back in touch soon,

  Linda

Subject: [Lyrarl] Aug. 29 Deadline for HUP eBook Archives Purchases

Hi All,

Here's a reminder of the approaching August 29, 2014 deadline to submit orders for the Harvard University Press eBook Archives collections (1896-2006) in order to get the most benefit from collective action. The Archives offer has pricing with deepening discounts based on the total dollar amount of orders gathered by August 29. The titles included in this collection are out of print and not available online from any other source.

We currently are around $30,000 away from gathering $300,000 in purchases and attaining the next level of discount that will bring the per title costs to $38-$44, depending on the collections purchased.

The attached spreadsheet shows the title list and pricing for the individual subject collections and the entire package of content. The reason for the differences between the Canadian pricing/title list and the US pricing/title list are due to several titles that HUP/DeGruyter cannot sell to Canadian institutions because HUP has given exclusive Canadian distribution rights to another entity.

The following subject collections are available:

*             Art & Architecture
*             American History
*             Law & Political Science
*             Literature
*             Medicine
*             Philosophy
*             Religion
*             Science
*             Social Sciences
*             World History


Please let me know if you have any questions.

Celeste
