"OpenEdition is pleased to announce the arrival of German publisher C.H. Beck on OpenEdition Books, the digital platform for open access academic publishing. C.H. Beck collections will be available on OpenEdition Books in April 2014. The C.H. Beck catalogue on OpenEdition will initially include around 30 books drawn from its classical studies series (Zetemata: Monographien zur klassischen Altertumswissenschaft) and papyrus studies series (Münchener Beiträge zur Papyrusforschung und antiken Rechtsgeschichte).

Most of the books will be available in Open Access Freemium: free HTML, with PDF, ePub and eReader formats available exclusively to subscribing institutions and through digital bookstores ..."
