The Chronicle of Higher Ed Says The CIC Schools have teamed up in an e-publishing venture that aims to put hundreds of scholarly books in electronic form. They\’ve each committed from $50,000 to $100,000 to develop a prototype for the joint e-publishing venture, that seems light on details.


They hope to one day offer all of their books in electronic form in a version that could be linked to a joint online library catalog. The university presses publish about 1,000 new books each year.
