Publishers. If you sell individual book titles to libraries with
unlimited simultaneous users, no DRM, and perpetual access and
archival rights please contact me.

We are not interested in any limits on the number of simultaneous
users for our campus, will not buy with 30 or 60 or whatever page
downloads, time limits, or limits to number of pages read.  We will
not accept "check out " requirements nor diappearing files.  We want
the right to fully index your books for discovery and new applications
such as text mining or deep linking at least to the chapter level.  We
want to link from other services such as A&I services back to your
text or out of your text to cited works, for example, and out to
illusrtrations or reviews. We are capable of mounting your books on
our own servers and limiting access to our own legitimate users. We
expect that, when your copyright expires, the titles in public domain
will be ours to do what is legal to do with them. We expect to
exercise all rights under US copyright law and to state so in whatever
license we sign with you. We expect the right to migrate file formats
to keep files usable and refreshed for the long term . We expect the
right to do this. We expect the right to integrate your content into a
flexible and still developing user eBook experience.

We will exercise full legal rights and protections and
responsibilities and use. We will make our own provisions for
archiving.  We are particularly interested in working with flexible
formats.

If you are interested please contact us.

If your books meet our requirements we will promote them to our campus
for potential purchases to our campus even if if we do not buy
immediately for additions to our collections. This is not a call for
collection level offers.

Thank you.
