Weekly News Digest

The University of Pittsburgh Press, in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Library System and the Chicago Digital Distribution Center (CDDC), is making nearly 500 out-of-print Press titles available again for scholars and students around the world. The titles are now part of the University of Pittsburgh Press Digital Editions collection, fully searchable and freely accessible on the internet through the University of Pittsburgh Library System's D-Scribe Digital Publishing Program. Over the next year, they will also be made available for purchase in reasonably priced paperback editions through the CDDC.

Readers and researchers may read and search the full texts online, and those who wish to have a print copy may purchase it through retail outlets or directly from the Press. The University of Pittsburgh Press Digital Editions (UPPDE) may be viewed through the Press website, www.upress.pitt.edu; click on Digital Editions. Print editions of these titles, as they become available, may be purchased through the shopping cart icon on each book page of the Press website or at www.bibliovault.org.

Since its inception in December 2007, the University of Pittsburgh Press Digital Editions site has been visited by thousands of users, many from outside the U.S. Sales of the UPPDE titles still in print and requests for print copies of out-of-print titles suggest sufficient interest among scholars and students in having these titles available again as printed books.
