Library and University Press as Journal Publishing Partners - Wayne State University Press and Libraries

Beckman Auditorium, The Ames Library

The Wayne State University Press Journals program comprises ten scholarly print serials. When the Press sought to deliver its journals electronically, in-house, for the first time, it established a mutually beneficial collaboration with the Libraries to host, format, manage and preserve its content online. We propose a case study of this collaboration, documenting the program, the process, and the unique features of this partnership. Neds-Fox will discuss the collaboration, the unexpected benefits for both partners not directly related to the publishing of the journals, and the future directions for the partnership.
