Funded in June 1999 by a $3-million, five-year grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Humanities E-Book project is expanding and now contains over 2,200 electronic books of major importance to historical studies, humanities disciplines and area studies. The Humanities E-Book Project will continue to grow, adding approximately 250 books annually to the collection.

Subscription Rates & Library Category

Discount rates for the MCLS group purchase are based on the number of participating libraries. For quotes, contact MCLS.

ACLS pricing categories are based first on the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, 2000 Edition. To find out an institution's 2000 Carnegie Classification, please refer to www.carnegiefoundation.org/Classification/classification.htm online.

The second basis for pricing is full-time enrollment (FTE), which for institutions of higher education, is the enrollment of full-time students, plus the full-time equivalent of part-time students as reported by institutions. In the absence of an equivalent reported by an institution, the FTE enrollment is estimated by adding one-third of part-time enrollment to full-time enrollment.
