|
The MIT Press and the University of Michigan Press recently announced plans to start selling their ebook collections directly to libraries by creating their own distribution platforms. Previously, the publishers did not have a mechanism for selling to institutions directly. Instead, access to ebooks was largely brokered through third-party acquisition services such as ProQuest, EBSCO, Project Muse, OverDrive and JSTOR. By taking control of the distribution of their ebook collections, MIT Press and the University of Michigan Press will soon join a very select group of university presses that sell their collections directly to libraries.
