Additional Information

Plans for Expansion & Future Directions:
We hope to develop into a full-fledged online journal publisher (peer-reviewed). If that is successful, we will consider publishing conference proceedings and non-scholarly books (not peer-reviewed).
Other Information:
The University Press remains the publisher of high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarly monographs, but is pivotal in supporting the Library’s establishment of a flexible, open access publishing platform.
