Reinventing University Publishing International Symposium and THAT camp, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, 17-19 March 2015. Academic publishing and the scholarly communication environment is in a period of considerable change. A wide range of new models and ventures are emerging as a result of technological opportunities and the open access agenda. The Council of Australian University Librarians Library Publishing Advisory Committee (CLPAC) organised a series of events to encourage discussions on issues related to academic publishing, particularly presses working within the structure of a university library. This event brought together representatives from universities, university presses and libraries from around the world to define and address major questions and challenges, showcase national and international developments in university publishing, enhance engagement with policy makers, strengthen and promote this community of practice, and develop understanding of the needs of authors and editors in university publishing.

Rethinking how we pay for scholarly monographs
(2015) Hawkins, Kevin
Since at least the late 1970s, when stresses in the market for scholarly literature began to show, there have been calls to redistribute how the production and dissemination of scholarly literature are paid for. The motivations are addressing the "free rider problem" of institutions without presses and, more recently, increasing overall access to the literature. In particular, the last few years have seen schemes such as SCOAP3 and Knowledge Unlatched and proposals from K|N Consultants and a joint task force of the Association of Research Libraries and the American Association of Universities. These plans to establish new business models will be summarized, and examples of local efforts to offer low-cost programmes for publishing monographs at the University of Michigan and the University of North Texas will be described.
