<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>There
is a tremendous drive in the academic library environment to reshape content
and service models to deploy technologies in ways that more effectively and
efficiently serve the user at the point of information need. One of the hottest
topics for libraries in this regard is e-books. This is also an area of rapid
development across the publishing industry – with activity to standardize
file formats, a proliferation of dedicated devices, and the transformation of
purchasing and copyright practices originally developed for print books. For
libraries, there are associated issues in terms of both constrained purchasing
budgets and the expanding popularity of patron driven selection. Recent key
library events such as the ARL Membership meeting, Charleston Conference, and
the ALA Midwinter Meeting highlighted the issues and interest seems to grow
daily. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Publishers
in a university press environment also face these new challenges. At a time
when print sales are declining, how should e-books be integrated into production
and distribution to demonstrate the ongoing value of a university press in
support of academic research? Rising interest in the creation of cooperative
branded consortia for purposes of distributing scholarly monographs is evident
as several such initiatives that have emerged. (InsideHigherEd, <i>New Models
for University Presses</i>, November 22, 2010,
http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/11/22/presses. The Andrew Mellon
Foundation has funded one such exploratory initiative involving, among others,
NYU Press, Temple University Press, Rutgers University Press, the University of
Nebraska Press, and the University of Pennsylvania Press. The 60 presses that
are joining the University Press eBook Consortium (UPeC) are focused on
satisfying the needs of the scholarly community as they move forward in
selecting a platform and planning their collections. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
