Background on the UPCC Collections
The University Press eBook Consortium (UPeC) was a group of university presses that joined forces in 2009 with the idea of offering their ebooks through a common platform and business model that would be sustainable into the future. UPeC awarded the contract for creating and distributing the ebook versions of their content to Project MUSE. The result is the University Press Content Consortium (UPCC), now numbering nearly 70 university presses that offer via the MUSE platform some of the richest and most diverse collections of current scholarly ebooks available.
