aserl-collection-strategy Mailing List: De Gruyter University Press Library discount extended

[Rebecca Crist, ASERL (rebecca]

Hello ASERL colleagues,
We're pleased to announce that De Gruyter has extended their offer of an ASERL 
discounted price for their University Press Library collection through June 30, 
2025. This gives Old Dominion, our newest member, a chance to consider the 
offer and gives everyone else a chance to consider further. Details of the 
offer are below. If you want to inquire further, please contact Tim Rudman 
(Tim.Rudman [at] degruyter.com<mailto:Tim.Rudman [at] degruyter.com>) or Megan 
Vance (megan.vance [at] degruyter.com<mailto:megan.vance [at] degruyter.com>), 
or let me know if you have questions.

And please feel free to forward to other folks in the library-our collection 
strategies lists may never reach acquisitions without it. Thanks!
