At 75, University-Press Association Rides the ‘Second Digital Wave’

The members of the Association of American University Presses have a lot to think about as they gather in Chicago next week for their annual meeting. The meeting, whose theme is “Igniting the Future!,” also marks the group’s 75th anniversary.

Kindles...already haveworked their way into most presses’ planning, according to an AAUP survey on digital-publishing strategies released just ahead of the meeting.

The Amazon Kindle format led the list of platforms, vendors and aggregators that presses said they use to deliver digital access to what they publish. Eighty-one percent of presses said they’ve gone the Kindle route.
