The State of the University Press
Indeed, many of the major challenges the university press community is attempting to solve today are, at their core, structurally similar to the issues faced by commercial houses.
As Mudditt says, "I think the meta issue that's challenging all publishers -- and university presses aren't any different -- is the transition to digital. You know: How do you build and pay for all the infrastructure you need? How do you adapt to changing and uncertain business models? How do you monetize these new products?"
