In his review of Humanities E-Book (HEB) for the Institute of Historical Research, Mark Herring called it “one of the best—if not the best—electronically accessible sites in the humanities” (September 2009). With recognition of that sort for its tenth anniversary, HEB is now exploring new directions for its second decade. Taking advantage of its considerable subscriber base and successful model, HEB is planning a universal collaboration with university presses and learned societies to create a new collection with expanded offerings and pricing models. These developments will facilitate the distribution of scholarly monographs and related materials to core scholarly and library markets. The directors will discuss these new plans.
