Survey Invitation: Rotunda American Founding Era Collection

["Jason G. Coleman" <jgc3h@virginia.edu>]

The University of Virginia Press (UVaP) invites library 
professionals to take part in an online survey.

The UVaP will expand its ROTUNDA imprint of electronic 
publications by digitizing large documentary editions.  Funded in 
part by the Mellon Foundation, this ambitious project will offer 
the papers of historical figures published by other university 
presses as well as those by the UVaP. The fully searchable, 
XML-based digital collection will ultimately represent well over 
100,000 pages and will include all of the editorial enrichment 
and indexing of the print volumes, making this scholarship 
available to new generations of researchers. The editions can be 
purchased individually or purchased together as the American 
Founding Era Collection.

We are seeking your help in identifying a distribution and 
pricing model that will allow non-profit university presses to 
find a balance between library preferences and digital production 
costs and distribution options.

You are welcome to consult your colleagues and staff in the 
library in preparing your response. If you are not the best 
person to answer on behalf of your library, please forward this 
message to the right person.

The survey will remain open until Friday, May 5th.

Completing the survey should take 10 to 15 minutes, depending on 
how many comments you choose to make.  You may work on the survey 
in more than one session.  It will save your place if you wish to 
exit and return, provided no one else accesses the survey from 
the same browser.
