University Press Library
The De Gruyter University Press Library (UPL) is an acquisition model for academic libraries that brings together eBook collections from more than 27 of the world’s most prestigious university presses and publishing houses, including Harvard, Princeton, and Edinburgh .
What is the University Press Library?
We originally created the program to help presses and libraries make the acquisition of eBook collections more predictable and sustainable. In the years since, the UPL has grown to become a complete and unrestricted collection acquisition model for academic libraries.

Digital Events
The UPL was founded with the core mission of bridging gaps between key stakeholders in the academic community. True to this mission, we host, organize, and create a platform for engaging discussions with university presses, consortia, libraries, and service providers.
University Press publishing was founded with the specific mission to serve the interests of the scholarly community of which they are part:
- How has that mission evolved and where are we today?
- How do the missions vary even among the apparently coherent community of university presses?
- What have been the most significant challenges to the missions since the arrival of digital technology and how has COVID impacted decisions at the presses?
