Over 1000 UC Press eScholarship Editions Now Available

The collection of UC Press eScholarship Editions ( http://escholarship.cdlib.org/ucpress/ ) available to the UC community continues to grow.  Over 1000 titles are now available; an additional 500 titles will be published by the end of the calendar year.  About 400 of the books are available to the public.  Titles just released include Athenian Democracy in Transition, Early Daoist Scriptures, and Workin’ Man Blues: Country Music in California.

The titles, which are served in XML, are fully searchable.  All titles are listed in Melvyl within two weeks of release.  A group of approximately 100 books is made available every 6 weeks.  A complete schedule of releases can be found at http://escholarship.cdlib.org/ucpress/schedule.html; lists of forthcoming UC Press eScholarship Editions books are at http://escholarship.cdlib.org/ucpress/upcoming.html.  Linking assistance (http://escholarship.cdlib.org/ucpress/linking.html) includes a MARC download of all available public titles for inclusion in the OPACs of non-UC institutions.

The UC Press eScholarship Editions are the result of a partnership between University of California Press and the California Digital Library’s eScholarship program ( http://escholarship.cdlib.org/ ).
