More out-of-print U Press titles released in digital form

The University of Pittsburgh Press, in collaboration with the University Library System (ULS) and the Chicago Digital Distribution Center (CDDC), is making available nearly 500 out-of-print Press titles.

These titles are now part of the University of Pittsburgh Press Digital Editions collection, fully searchable and freely accessible to anyone with an Internet connection through ULS’s D-Scribe Digital Publishing program, accessible at www.library.pitt.edu/dscribe/.

Over the next year, they also will be made available for purchase in paperback editions through CDDC. Readers and researchers can read and search the full texts online, and those who wish to have a print copy can purchase it through retail outlets or directly from the Press.

The University of Pittsburgh Press Digital Editions (UPPDE) can be viewed through the Press web site (www.upress.pitt.edu) by selecting Digital Editions. Print editions of these titles, as they become available, can be purchased through the shopping cart icon on each book page of the Press web site or at www.bibliovault.org.

Sales of the UPPDE titles still in print and requests for copies of out-of-print titles suggest sufficient interest among scholars and students in having these titles available again as printed books, Press officials said.
