Panel 4: University Presses

About This Session

This panel session will feature speakers from University Presses, who will discuss issues involved in Open Access.  There are different issues between OA journals and monographs, and widely varying business models for each genre.  Open Access is a relatively new strategy for university presses, which are exploring new strategies for providing free access to content.  There may also be effective hybrid models, some of which will be discussed.
