The document discusses the problem of prestige that open access academic presses face. It notes that there has been a surge in new university presses and academic-led publishing in the UK in recent years, with 19 new presses launched and 8 more considering launching. However, open access presses have a prestige problem compared to traditional publishers. The document argues that with time and as the quality of open access book publishing is demonstrated, the issue of prestige for open access presses will diminish over the next ten years.

Simon Bell, Clare Hooper, Katharine Horton, Ian Morgan Over the last few years we have witnessed a seismic shift in the scholarly ecosystem. Three years since outset of the COVID pandemic and the establishment UN Publishers Compact, this is discussion-led presentation will look at how four UK Universities Presses have adopted a consultative and collaborative approach on projects to support their institutional missions, engage with the wider scholarly community while building on a commitment to make a meaningful difference to society. This panel discussion will combine the perspectives of four UK based university presses, all with distinct identities and varied publishing programs drawn from humanities, arts and social sciences, yet with a shared recognition and value of the importance to collaborate and co-operate on a shared vision to support accessibility and inclusivity within the wider scholarly community and maintain a rich bibliodiversity.

UKSG: connecting the knowledge community

About the Webinar In the six years from 2006 to 2012, the number of self-published books grew an astounding 270% to more than 235,000, almost as many as were published "traditionally." The easy access to publication tools and distribution mechanisms has ushered in a new era of how content is created and disseminated. No longer do authors need to work through a publisher to have their content accepted, processed, and distributed. The impacts of this revolution in publishing extend well beyond what used to be called "vanity publishing." A variety of best-selling books in recent years have come out from successful self-publishers sharing their tips on how others can follow in their footsteps. How can publishers capitalize on this author independence? How do libraries incorporate self-published works into their acquisition processes? When there is no publisher reputation behind a title, how does a library or user separate the wheat from the chaff? This webinar will explore these issues and the impacts of the self-publishing movement on both publishers and libraries.

Charleston Conference Friday, November 5, 2010 2:00 - 2:50 PM Academic libraries can become the center of on-campus scholarly publishing initiatives by offering and supporting scholarly publishing services.

What types of services should libraries consider offering? How can we create a sustainable funding model for library publishing? What are some of the issues that academic libraries encounter as they move into the field of publishing. Showing real examples of how academic libraries are successfully providing publishing services, including: • Peer-reviewed scholarly journals • Student journals • Monographs: the library Imprint or partnerships with the University Press • Events publishing: Conferences and workshops The discussion will show that academic libraries can provide publishing services that expand and enhance the range of library services to faculty, students, administration and their greater communities.

Although digital technology has made it possible for many more people to access content at no extra cost, fewer people than ever before are able to read the books written by university-based researchers. This presentation explores the role that open access licenses and collective action might play in reviving the scholarly monograph: a specialised area of academic publishing that has seen sales decline by more than 90 per cent over the past three decades. It also introduces Knowledge Unlatched an ambitious attempt to create an internationally coordinated, sustainable route to open access for scholarly books. Knowledge Unlatched is now in its pilot phase.
