- University Presses: Rising to the Challenge -
Want to know more about how University Presses are embracing the
challenges facing scholarly publishing?
What does it take for a UP to thrive these days?
How are the Presses dealing with shrinking markets, working to provide
the new services electronic technology allows, developing new marketing
strategies, reorganizing and retraining their staff?
Where do libraries come in?
In this, the first of two Forums devoted to the state of the University
Presses (the second to follow at Midwinter 2007), the ALCTS Publisher-
