[Lyrarl] 2015 De Gruyter Online eBook Offer for 4 University Presses

[Celeste Feather]

Hi All -

I'm pleased to share the news that we have reached final agreement with De Gruyter for the university press ebook content they are hosting at De Gruyter Online in 2015.

In recent years De Gruyter has hosted ebook content for Harvard University Press. For 2015, they have created additional partnerships with Princeton University Press, Columbia University Press, and the University of Pennsylvania Press. All 4 presses will have forthcoming collections and older backfile/archive collections at De Gruyter. The details are set forth in the attached summary document. Pricing and title lists to date for these collections are available in the attached spreadsheet.

The final discount on pricing for the more recent collections is based on the number of libraries that place orders by May 29, 2015. The final discount on pricing for the archival collections is based on the total dollar amount of orders placed by July 31, 2015.

As another point of interest, De Gruyter recently announced a new partnership with Scope e-Knowledge Center for the creation of MARC records for these collections:

I would also like to introduce my new colleague on the LYRASIS licensing team, Sharla Lair (sharla.lair at lyrasis.org<mailto:sharla.lair at lyrasis.org>).

Sharla most recently worked for the MOBIUS consortium in Missouri, and joined LYRASIS in January this year. She stepped into my former position on the team when I assumed the role of Senior Director for Licensing. Sharla will be working with me on the ARL Licensing Initiative offers this year, and I know you will enjoy getting to know her.

Please let us know if you have questions. We will be glad to assist.

Celeste
