Duke University Press is developing a new electronic book product for trial. We have invited a small set of libraries to participate in the e-Duke Scholarly Books Collection pilot program in 2008. It is the goal of Duke University Press as a nonprofit scholarly publisher to create an innovative and library-friendly product.

Participating Libraries

The e-Duke Scholarly Books Collection will provide perpetual online access to at least 100 new scholarly books published by Duke in the humanities and social sciences in a calendar year, as well as access to all of the Press’s books now available in electronic form, contingent on the purchase of the current year’s titles.

The e-Duke Scholarly Books Collection will be hosted on the Ebrary platform, with an official start date for the pilot program of January 1, 2008.

We will offer tiered pricing based on the 2005 Basic Carnegie Classifications. We will also offer a print add-on option priced at cost to encourage libraries to purchase print copies.

We will solicit feedback from pilot participants regarding issues such as access, pricing, the site license, vendor preference, and other topics.
