Duke University Press

  • e-Duke Books Scholarly Collection

    The e-Duke Books Scholarly Collection includes at least 100 new electronic books published by Duke University Press in the humanities and social sciences. Customers also receive term access to over 1,500 backlist titles during the years in which they purchase the collection.
    Starting in 2014, all current and backlist titles in e-Duke Books will move from ebrary to be accessed on HighWire Press, the longtime host of Duke University Press journal content. For complete information about this change, including frequently asked questions, please visit our platform transition resource page.
    Individual titles in electronic format are available from select vendors, including ebrary, YBP Library Services, and MyiLibrary.

Features of the e-Duke Books Scholarly Collection include:

  1. Multi-user access
  2. Tiered discounting
  3. Perpetual access to purchased content
  4. Term access to over 1,500 backlist titles
  5. COUNTER-compliant usage statistics
  6. A deeply discounted print add-on option that includes a paperback copy of each title in the collection for the current year
  7. e-books viewable in both PDF and mobile-optimized e-reader formats
  8. MARC catalog records with chapter-level metadata
  • Request Trial

  • Each year's title list is similar to an approval plan profile: institutions make an annual decision to purchase access to all available new Duke University Press e-books, based not on title-by-title decisions, but on the Press's well-established track record as a leading publisher of cutting-edge scholarship in the humanities and social sciences.

    Provided below is a current title list. The only Duke titles excluded from the electronic collection are titles of regional or popular interest or titles to which Duke does not hold electronic rights. (Excluded titles are noted in the title list.)
