Removing barriers: How Libraries and University Presses Collaborate to Effect Change
- Presenter(s): Jennie Collinson; Mary Rose Muccie; Jessica Fiorillo; Allison Levy
- Session Length: 75 minutes
- Date: Jun 11, 2025
Organized by the Association of University Presses (AUPresses) Library Relations Committee, this session highlights successful collaborations between university presses and libraries, showcasing the lasting impact they can have on the wider academic community. Three case studies provide insight into how collaborative initiatives came to fruition, how these partnerships have long-term benefits for both the libraries and the presses, and ultimately how the initiatives contribute to a shared mission of removing barriers to the publishing of research and the pursuit of knowledge.
There are presentations on:
North Broad Press, a joint imprint from Temple University Press and the Temple University Library that publishes peer-reviewed open textbooks by Temple faculty.
Trailblazers, a new open access initiative from Liverpool University Press that champions the often overlooked early-career researcher. Run in partnership with Lancaster University, University of Liverpool, and University of Salford (UK). AUPresses and the LPC are collaborating on the University Based Publishing Futures initiative - the Library Relations Committee is contributing to the advocacy work of that initiative through this session.
Brown University Digital Publications, a Library-based born-digital publishing program that offers training workshops for HBCU scholars and library professionals seeking to gain expertise in developing open access born-digital scholarship.
