Dear all
Please accept my apologies for cross-posting.
Hopefully, you will have seen the recent announcement that Social Sciences Directory published its first Issue in September and its sister website Humanities Directory will follow shortly. These are new multi-disciplinary publications, which aim to revolutionise scholarly publishing by providing quality, affordable content without the barrier of subscription paywalls. Our approach is modern and progressive, whilst adhering to recognised publishing standards.
We have reached a new agreement with Eduserv to offer low cost institutional membership fees for British universities. With the UK government mandate to make publicly-funded research freely available from April 1st 2013, this is a great opportunity to offer researchers at your institution a way to publish quality work in open access without paying exorbitant article processing charges. If there is enough interest through Eduserv then subscribers will pay a fee of £1,800 +VAT for the extended period to 31 December 2013 compared to the current annual membership fee of £2,000. This fee entitles member institutions to publish an unlimited number of manuscripts (subject to adherence with the Guidelines for Authors and a satisfactory review). The fee for institutions taking membership to both Social Sciences Directory and Humanities Directory will be £3,500 + VAT.

I hope this is of interest and would be happy to meet or arrange conference calls to discuss further.
Yours sincerely
