Additional Information
Plans for Expansion & Future Directions:Thanks to a couple of campus partners willing to be volunteers, we’ve begun making progress towards a long-standing goal of adding production support for our publications, such as copy-editing, design, etc. Based on their use cases, we’re discussing a pilot program of library publishing mini-grants. We’re also outlining plans for expanding our Open Educational Resources publishing program, with emphasis on accelerating our publication rate and improving accessibility.
