Ordering

If you do not find the answer to your question below, please contact our customer service department at unpjournals@highwirepress.com.

There are four ways to order print subscriptions and back issues:

  • Order online by visiting individual journal pages on this website.
  • Order by phone by calling 866-978-0295.
  • Order by mail by sending  a check ($US) that includes any applicable taxes or shipping and handling and is made payable to MPS Limited to:

                University of Nebraska Press
                c/o MPS Limited
                941 West Morse Blvd, Ste. 100
                Winter Park, FL 32789

        Be sure to clearly indicate what you are ordering (which journal and, if a back issue, which issue). 
        Include a phone number or email address in case we have any questions.

  • Institutions may also order through their preferred subscription agents.
  • Institutions must order electronic subscriptions through  Project
    MUSE    . They also handle our print + electronic combination subscriptions for institutions.
    Subscription agents may place those orders for their client institutions.
  • Western American Literature is published by the University of Nebraska Press for the Western Literature Association. The association handles all orders and customer service issues for this journal.

Information about print subscriptions

  • All postage and handling is already included in the price of a print subscription.
  • It is the policy of the University of Nebraska Press to charge the “individual” subscription rate if a subscription is paid for by a personal check or credit card. Otherwise, the institutional rate applies.
  • Once a subscription order is placed, no cancellations are allowed.
  • With a few exceptions, our print subscriptions are volume-based. That means your one-year subscription will consist of issues from the same volume. Unless you tell us specifically which volume you wish to subscribe to, we will determine the most logical volume, and, therefore, starting issue, for your subscription.
  • Please notify us in advance of any address changes. When contacting us, provide both the old and new address.
  • We will honor claims for missing or damaged issues for six months after the original mailing date of an issue. All claims should be sent to the University of Nebraska Press, not the journal’s editor or its related society. (The exception is Western American Literature. Both orders and claims must be directed to the Western Literature Association.)

Information about electronic subscriptions

  • Most of the journals published by the University of Nebraska Press are available online on the Project MUSE platform.
  • Libraries and other institutions may subscribe to the journals as part of a Project MUSE collection or as single title subscriptions. In either case, the subscription should be placed directly with Project MUSE or a library subscription agent.
  • If individuals are able to subscribe to the electronic version of a journal, it will be one of the subscription options on the journal’s page on this website. All individual subscriptions to electronic journals must be ordered online.

Information about back issues

  • Postage and handling will be added to back issue orders.
  •  Allow up to 2 weeks for standard delivery to addresses in the US, although most will be delivered within 7 business days.  Most standard international orders will be delivered within 8 weeks, but some may take longer. If you have concerns about a back issue order, please email or call us.
    • Our standard shipping method for back issues delivered to US addresses is USPS Ground Advantage. We can provide tracking information on request, but it may take a few days for us to receive that information from our warehouse. 
    • As a general rule, orders shipped via our standard method cannot be considered “lost” until after 3 weeks in the US and 12 weeks outside the US. 
    • Expedited shipping and handling is available. Customers can choose “expedited” at checkout, and their orders will be shipped, most commonly, via FedEx Ground or FedEx International Economy. Faster options  are available by calling us.

Information about taxes

UNP collects Nebraska sales tax and Canada’s GST on orders of print and electronic subscriptions and back issues. Our website is designed to collect sales tax on all orders to these jurisdictions based on address. If your organization has tax-exempt status in one of these jurisdictions and you will be paying with the organization’s credit card, please call us at 402-472-8536 to place your order. If you wish to pay by check on an account in the organization’s name, you may mail in your order with a copy of your tax exemption certificate.
