University of Pittsburgh Press Digital Editions
The University of Pittsburgh Press and the University Library System (ULS) have formed a partnership to make books published by the Press available online. By digitizing these volumes and distributing them freely on the Internet, the University of Pittsburgh Press is enabling greater access to the material previously available only as print editions. The digital representations of the monographs are made possible through the efforts of the ULS Digital Research Library, responsible for digitizing the material and supporting their full-text searchability.

Rice University Press

Rice University Press
Rice University has re-launched its university press as an all-digital operation. Using the open-source e-publishing platform Connexions, Rice University Press is returning from a decade-long hiatus to explore models of peer-reviewed scholarship for the 21st century. The technology offers authors a way to use multimedia -- audio files, live hyperlinks or moving images -- to craft dynamic scholarly arguments, and to publish on-demand original works in fields of study that are increasingly constrained by print publishing.

DirectText
With the launch of its new DirectText (DT) initiative, SUNY Press can now offer both electronic and hardcover frontlist titles simultaneously. For a price significantly lower than that of hardover editions, professors and students—or anyone, for that matter—can download and print electronic PDF versions of new hardcover titles directly from the Press’s Web site. A free preview option allows one to view the table of contents, the first two pages of each chapter, and the index of DT titles before purchasing.

University of Virginia Press

Rotunda
The Electronic Imprint of the University of Virginia Press has established Rotunda, a new line of digital scholarship combining the originality, intellectual rigor, and scholarly value of traditional peer-reviewed university press publishing with thoughtful technological innovation designed for scholars and students. Rotunda’s American Founding Era collection began with the publication of the Dolley Madison Digital Edition, which has been followed by digitized editions of the multi-volume Papers of George Washington and the Adams Papers. Future publications include digitized editions of the papers of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton, as well as the Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Rotunda also offers the Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture collection, including works on Herman Melville, Matthew Arnold, and William Wells Brown, author of the first African-American novel, Clotel. In addition to “born-digital” publications, both collections will include newly digitized critical and documentary editions originally published by university presses and scholarly societies. Rotunda is made possible by generous grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the President’s Office of the University of Virginia.
