ACLS History E-Book Project

As of this morning, the History E-Book Project of The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), is accessible from all facilities of the ASCSA, and (for members and staff) by way of the proxy server.

"Humanities E-Book is a digital collection offered by the ACLS in collaboration with ten learned societies, nearly 80 contributing publishers, and librarians at the University of Michigan’s Scholarly Publishing Office. The result is an online, fully searchable collection of high-quality books in the Humanities, recommended and reviewed by scholars and featuring unlimited multi-user access and free, downloadable MARC records. HEB is available 24/7 on- and off-campus through standard web browsers."

American School of Classical Studies at Athens is a contributing publisher in the project.

In the next few weeks we will be adding MARC records to Ambrosia for titles we do not already hold, and hyperlinks from the records we do already hold.
