The UC libraries have acquired a collection of ebooks from Project Muse, an aggregator of books and journals from university presses and other scholarly publishers. The acquisition gives UC libraries perpetual access to more than 10,000 ebooks from dozens of publishers. The collection includes 2020 books, as well as books from 2017-2019, and are now accessible on the Project Muse platform.
UC was able to license this collection, with no costs borne by the campuses, thanks to a generous allocation of FY19/20 year-end funds by the University Provost as well as drawing upon a pooled fund established to support the needs of the UC collective and to improve systemwide access to important scholarly work.
