A cooperative effort between the Library of Michigan and the presses of Michigan State University, University of Michigan and Wayne State University has launched Read Michigan, a statewide eBook project to simplify information access and increase equity for Michigan residents.
The program consists of opening access to a unique collection of regional eBooks to be freely available to all residents of Michigan. The ReadMichigan.org statewide eBook collection launches this month with an initial offering of 300 eBooks published by university presses about Michigan and the Great Lakes region.
MSU Dean of Libraries Joseph Salem praises the program for the way it expands distribution of and access to books that are central to Michigan. “This initiative is a great example of how libraries and university presses can invest in collaborative relationships that benefit people both within and beyond our campuses,” Salem said.
