Their books will join the more than 23,000 scholarly titles expected to be available on the MUSE platform by the end of 2013, and will bring the total number of UPCC presses to 91.
All of the new presses are expected to make their books available in both the UPCC Collections on MUSE and the recently launched Single Title Sales program, a partnership initiative with YPB Library Services facilitated through YBP’s GOBI3 acquisition interface. Details on 2014 collections and titles will be released in October.
