TWO BOOKS TO BE RELEASED ONLINE

Two ground-breaking works on relations between Native Americans and
early Pacific Northwest settlers will be released online this week by
Oregon State University in celebration of the fourth annual
International Open Access Week.

The OSU Press and the OSU Center for Digital Scholarship and Services
are making available Theodore Stern¹s two-volume works, "Chiefs and
Chief Traders: Indian Relations at Fort Nez Percés, 1818-1855," and
"Chiefs and Change in the Oregon Country." First published by OSU Press
in the 1990s,the books have been out of print for several years.

The books are free online as high-resolution, searchable PDF files in
the press's collection in the ScholarsArchive at OSU open access
repository:
http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/xmlui/handle/1957/18857 

In addition to these two open access monographs, the Center for Digital
Scholarship and Services and the OSU Press will soon announce the online
availability of other out-of-print and backlist OSU Press titles. These
also will be available in the open access repository as soon as they are
identified and scanned. The OSU Press and the Center for Digital
Scholarship and Services will monitor online usage of the volumes in
order to determine the sustainability of making books available without
restrictions.
