Alexander Street Press brings together the skills of traditional publishing, librarianship, and software development to create quality electronic collections across the curriculum. We believe that an electronic publication should:
Be carefully crafted by expert editors around a specific subject or discipline.
Detail all materials relevant to the subject, whatever their original form or ownership.
Contain as many of these materials as possible, in multiple formats if necessary.
Be indexed with controlled vocabularies for precise, exhaustive searching.
Provide unique ways of searching, viewing, exploring and analyzing the material.
Facilitate contributions from scholars and librarians.
Be priced to enable unlimited exploration by users.
We are creating a series of products using these values.
In 2011, we launched our largest video collection to date VAST: Academic Video Online. VAST contains more than 17,500 titles across all disciplines, all cross-searchable, making it a one-stop, multidisciplinary solution for libraries. More materials are added monthly ensuring that it stays current.
Today, Alexander Street Press publishes more than 80 collections totaling many millions of pages, audio tracks, videos, images, and playlists. We re concentrating on building the best collections we can across the curriculum in literature; music; women's history; black history; psychological counseling and therapy; social and cultural history; drama, medical, theatre, film, and the performing arts; religion; sociology; and other emerging areas.
Alexander Street products have won significant recognition, including awards for ?Best New Product? and ?Best Content? from The Charleston Advisor; numerous appearances on Library Journal s ?Best of the Year? lists; ?Product of the Month? from the History News Network; many Choice ?Outstanding Academic Title? awards; and consistently excellent reviews in library journals.
