*Apologies for cross-posting*

University of Michigan Press (UMP) will extend free-to-read access to the
University of Michigan Press Ebook Collection (UMP EBC) until the end of
August 2020, strengthening its support of students, librarians, and faculty
who need ebook access as they continue to transition to online learning and
teaching.

Additionally, in recognition of the budget constraints that many libraries
now face as a result of COVID-19, UMP will keep UMP EBC prices flat for the
2021 calendar year.

University of Michigan Press is a publisher of specialist monographs and
coursebooks and sales to libraries are still a major source of income. We
ask libraries at institutions whose students and faculty have benefited
from the free-to-read program to purchase a UMP EBC collection and support
digital scholarship infrastructure.
