Let's Get Digital: New digitalculturebooks Website Launch

We're excited to announce the launch of a redesigned www.digitalculture.org, which seeks to be a portal to enriched books in new media studies and digital humanities. digitalculturebooks strives to create a media-rich context for its titles, and to provide readers options for access—for free online or for sale in print. To promote the broadest possible use and access, the website and books carry Creative Commons licenses.

This imprint and website is a collaborative effort among technologists, project managers, editors, and librarians from the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library. Michigan is in the process of bringing together the complementary publishing strengths of these units, along with the Library's Copyright Office and institutional repository, Deep Blue, under the umbrella of MPublishing. Our statement of purpose has just been posted, and we look forward to the continued development of collaborative publishing efforts here at U-M.

To find out more about digitalculturebooks, please see our available titles and read about our digital publishing methods. For more information about the digitalculturebooks imprint, please contact digital-culture@umich.edu.
