<p class="MsoNormal">For the 4<sup>th</sup> year, I am pleased to announce a special ARL Licensing Initiative Offer from Project MUSE for the UPCC eBook Collections. Details are in the attached memo and pricing spreadsheet.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Project MUSE/UPCC collections have gained a sizeable footprint in the marketplace now. I was glad for the opportunity to participate in two panels at the recent Charleston Conference with librarians that are delving deeply into their
use of these collections. Harvard, Emory, and Yale presented their findings to date on the usage of MUSE titles in print and electronic formats. UNC-Charlotte presented an interesting case study of their successful outreach to faculty to select DRM-free MUSE
titles as course adoption titles this fall.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year for the first time we have been able to negotiate special offers for smaller libraries in the MUSE pricing tiers. I am glad to see more opportunities extended to other libraries, as that is one of the goals of the ARL Licensing
Initiative.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the annual special offers for the entire MUSE ALL BOOKS collection and the annual “top-off” collection for the libraries that have already purchased ALL BOOKS, there are other Special Offers that extend through
<b>March 31, 2015</b>. They include:<u></u><u></u></p>
