Digital Events
The University Press Library was founded with the core mission of bridging gaps between key stakeholders in the academic community. True to this mission, we host, organize, and create a platform for engaging discussions with university presses, consortia, libraries, and service providers.
University Press publishing was founded with the specific mission to serve the interests of the scholarly community of which they are part:
- How has that mission evolved and where are we today?
- How do the missions vary even among the apparently coherent community of university presses?
- What have been the most significant challenges to the missions since the arrival of digital technology and how has COVID impacted decisions at the presses?
