Universities as publishers• Not new:
– Cambridge University Press founded in 1584– Oxford University Press formally began publishing
books in 1668• Decline in activity later in the 20th century• Now, a resurgence seems to be happening• Coupled with something new

Why?• Things have changed• Threats ... and opportunities• The Web, and altered expectations from that• The Open Access imperative
– Particularly with respect to the humanities– And the need to consider what to do about long-
form publications• Scholars themselves are taking interest in
dissemination

Library-based publishing• Is new ... ish• ‘Librishers or pubrarians’ (John Unsworth,
SSP 2005)• A new – upside-down – role for the library• Seems to match a need for openness• Plenty of potential content• Certainly catching on

And why shouldn’t it work?• Plenty of potential content• Can help address the issues around open
long-form publications (not just accessibility)• Potential for collaborative ventures between
library and press (complementary skills)• Brand advantages to be had• Looking forward to many more members for
OASPA!
