H-Net Adds Book Discovery Service

H-Net, the online humanities and social sciences network, is launching a free book announcement service to help instructors keep up with new titles in their field. Known as the Book Channel, the free service will launch later this fall. Early next year, H-Net plans to commission articles to help its members understand the publishing industry, keep up with new research and use new content in their courses. H-Net, which is hosted by Michigan State University, also offers book reviews, job listings and academic announcements.
