Single Title Purchasing of UPCC Books on MUSE Now Available Through
YBP
Single-title purchasing of selected digital books from the University
Press Content Consortium (UPCC) on the Project MUSE platform is now
available through MUSE’s partnership with YBP Library Services. Over
14,000 UPCC titles in the humanities, social sciences, and natural
sciences may be discovered and ordered via GOBI3 (Global Online
Bibliographic Information), YBP’s acquisition and collection
management interface.
UPCC books on MUSE offer DRM-free content with unlimited simultaneous
usage, downloading, and printing; mobile accessibility on any
PDF-compatible device; perpetual access rights; and full integration
with MUSE’s extensive journal content for searching, browsing, and
discovery.
Through GOBI3, YBP’s library customers may discover all the UPCC
titles offered for individual purchase, and may elect to receive new
title notification or have titles automatically delivered by the MUSE
platform through YBP’s eApproval program.
Participating publishers select the books they wish to make available
via the single title purchasing program facilitated by YBP, and set the
prices for their titles. Sixty-seven (67) university press and related
scholarly publishers are offering books for individual purchase on MUSE,
from among the 84 presses contributing to the UPCC program.
Project MUSE now provides access to well over 20,000 books from the
many distinguished academic presses participating in UPCC. Books are
offered for purchase in collections organized by subject and/or
publication date, via two subscription options (one for current titles
and one featuring backlist books), and now for single-title ordering
through YBP. With this variety of flexible acquisition choices,
libraries may develop a strategy for the UPCC content that best meets
local needs and budget situations.
