    The e-Duke Books Scholarly Collection includes at least 100 new electronic books published by Duke University Press in the humanities and social sciences. In years in which they purchase the collection, customers also receive access to over 1,300 backlist titles.

  1. Tiered discounting
  2. Perpetual access to purchased content
  3. Term access to over 1,300 backlist titles
  4. A deeply discounted print add-on option that includes cloth editions of all titles in the collection for the current year
  5. MARC catalog records with chapter-level metadata

Features on ebrary® include:

  1. Multi-user access
  2. COUNTER-compliant usage statistics
  3. Personalized bookshelves that save searches, notes, and folders, provide automatic alerts, and manage citations
  4. Full-text searching across all titles to which the institution has access via ebrary
  • 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.)
