American Council of Learned Society's History e-Books are online to Grasselli Library patrons

The ACLS History E-Book Project is a collaboration of eight learned societies, nearly 75 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 history, recommended and reviewed by historians and featuring unlimited multi-user access. The Project is available 24/7 on- and off-campus through standard web browsers. The ACLS History E-Book Project was initially funded by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The collection contains over 1200 books and the goal is to add 250 more each year.

Don't forget to visit the ongoing month-long World eBook Fair for free access to over 1/3 million eBooks.
