Summary:

"Duke University Press has struck an agreement with HathiTrust and Google to make a large number of its backlist titles freely available through the HathiTrust digital repository. The press, like many others, hasn't had spare resources to digitize and archive all those books itself. As many as a thousand titles could be eligible for the project, which the partners hope will be a model for other publishers who want to widen access to their material. With permission from rights holders, the books will be made available under a Creative Commons noncommercial license, so that anyone may read and use them for nonmonetary purposes....For users who like what they see and want to buy a copy of a book, the press plans to offer a print-on-demand option, with Google's blessing...."
