<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">ACLS Humanities E-Book (HEB) is pleased to announce a number of recent functionality improvements to our online interface that we hope will create a better user experience.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">Readers now have the option of exporting citations through the “Copy citation” tool, as well as instantly sharing these via a number of reference managers and social media outlets. It is now also possible to annotate any title in the collection by using the free <a href="https://hypothes.is/" target="_blank">hypothes.is</a> tool, an open platform allowing for note-taking on top of online resources across the web that have enabled this feature. To make annotations and comments, it is necessary to first create an account or sign-in by clicking the right arrow button at the top of the hypothes.is sidebar.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">Look for further functionality and design enhancements to be added to HEB in the future as we continue to upgrade our platform.</span></span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">ACLS Humanities E-Book (HEB) has just announced its new pricing for the upcoming calendar year. Pricing for 2017 reflects a moderate increase for all subscription tiers to address the significant collection growth over the past three years, from just under 4,000 titles to 5,000 titles with our upcoming fall release. You can find details on new prices, going into effect January 1, our <a href="http://www.humanitiesebook.org/subscriptions-pricing/pricing.html#anchor193500" target="_blank">website</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">As many of our top-hit titles—you can see the most recent list <a href="http://humanities-ebook.blogspot.com/2016/09/hebs-top-ten-titles-for-january-2016.html" target="_blank">here</a>—include books frequently acquired in print by academic librarians for use by faculty and students, for most subscribers there are considerable financial advantages to subscribing to the HEB collection. Online access for the entire university community eliminates the need not only to add an adequate number of copies of in-demand titles to a library's holdings, but also consistently having to purchase replacement copies for print books that are lost or damaged.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">As a result of our growing collection as well as HEB's efforts to optimize usage among its subscribers, we are happy to report a usage uptick of 20% between the second half of 2015 and the first half of 2016. Collection usage is thus at an all-time high.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">HEB is eager to ensure our subscribers are getting the most out of our resource. Whether you are an existing subscriber or thinking of subscribing, and would like to schedule a webinar to have our staff provide you with an overview of the collection, please contact us at <a href="mailto:subscriptions@hebook.org">subscriptions@hebook.org</a> and we'd be happy to set this up.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">HEB recently asked our subscribers to participate in a survey designed to assist in expanding our title list to reflect both underrepresented areas of study and currently popular interests in scholarship. In response we received feedback from 362 respondents at subscribing institutions.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">We conducted a <a href="http://humanities-ebook.blogspot.com/2012/12/collection-development-survey.html" target="_blank">similar survey</a> in 2012, and we’ve seen significant shifts in this year’s data. Of the five fields we identified as “trending” in 2012, only two—Film and Media Studies and American History—remain in this year’s top five. (No longer among the top trending fields: Art and Architecture, </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">Latin American History</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;"> and Literature.) Areas experiencing new growth in popularity include Women’s Studies, LGBT/Queer Studies, and Environmental History. When asked about areas in which their collections should expand, librarians identified deficits in LGBT/Queer Studies, African History, Environmental History, Native American Studies and Middle Eastern History.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">These results seem to indicate that certain areas—particularly LGBT/Queer Studies and Environmental History—are growing rapidly while remaining underrepresented in library collections. At the same time, perennial mainstays like American History are experiencing increased interest but remain well-represented. At HEB, we will use these findings to continue to develop our collection in both established and emerging areas. We thank everyone who took part in the survey.

By focusing on </span><span style="line-height: 25px;">four prominent Americans of the time, Bederman explores notions of </span><span style="line-height: 25px;">masculinity in flux at the turn of the century. The popularity of this </span><span style="line-height: 25px;">work underscores a growing interest in the study of gender and race, as </span><span style="line-height: 25px;">has been demonstrated by many other titles on our lists.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">Happy 2016 from ACLS Humanities E-Book (HEB)! We wanted to take this opportunity to thank our subscribers and remind them that, although HEB collaborates with a number of discovery services by providing them with metadata for our books, our curated title list is not available via any other aggregators, and viewing a title is possible only through direct authorization by us of a subscribing institution’s IPs. Simply put, the only way to access the HEB collection is to subscribe to HEB.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">Furthermore, the content offered on our platform is for the most part unduplicated. Our research shows that an average of 90% of the HEB collection is unique and does not overlap with the title lists made available by a number of other providers (such as JSTOR, Project MUSE, ebrary, EBSCO Academic and EBL Ebook Library). The HEB collection is centered on backlist titles of enduring value to research and teaching, and HEB frequently offers the only digital versions of these books currently available. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">ACLS Humanities E-Book (HEB) is proud to announce its participation in Humanities Open Book (HOB), a program intended to give a second life to outstanding out-of-print books in the humanities by turning them into free e-books. HEB is one of ten awardees to have been selected for participation in this joint initiative of The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the largest funders of humanities research in the United States. </span></div>

The books will be selected for their enduring scholarly value and potential public interest</span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 25px;">. HEB has a unique opportunity to pursue and represent authors who are not affiliated with a publishing body acting on their behalf, but instead will be able to license work directly to it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">HEB tracks and releases a list of our most-accessed titles on a semi-annual basis. Over the years this has proved a useful tool for monitoring trends in scholarly research and teaching across disciplines, with certain books becoming permanent fixtures of the HEB "bestseller" list, but one or two newcomers occasionally pointing to rising interest in other fields of study.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">For the first half of 2015, that newcomer was Steven Hahn's Pulitzer-Prize winning <i><a href="http://hdl.handle.net/2027/heb.03953.0001.001" target="_blank">A Nation under Our Feet: Black Political Struggles in the Rural South from Slavery to the Great Migration</a></i> (Harvard University Press, 2003), adding to the growing number of titles dealing with race and racism in America among our top-accessed books. (As featured on this blog in the past, for those who are actively researching these areas, HEB's Pinterest board <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/acls1919/race-in-america-%7E-acls-humanities-e-book-collectio/" target="_blank">Race in America</a> may provide additional material of interest.)</span></span>
