The University of Westminster and Michigan Publishing Services launch a new UWP website, reflecting their extended trans-Atlantic publishing partnership bit.ly/4f7MrsI @M_Publishing uwestminsterpress.co.uk #OpenAccess

From the heart of the USA, Ann Arbor MI, to the heart of London, Westminster UK: Excited to welcome @UniWestPress to the open-source @fulcrumpub platform and the @M_Publishing academy-owned environment: uwestminsterpress.co.uk

Come talk to us @aupresses this week and learn more about how Fulcrum can help university presses publish their digital content in a durable, discoverable, accessible, and flexible form. We're hanging out at the @M_Publishing table in the exhibit hall!

In addition to Informa/Routledge and SpringerNature/Palgrave, US university presses now face two new giant commercial entities covetous of UP reputations - deGruyter/Brill and R&L/Bloomsbury. But our acquiring editors still too often see other UPs as the main competition . . .

The @openlibhums team are excited to add @AbdnUniPress to the growing Janeway community! Books provided by @M_Publishing's @fulcrumpub and Journals provided by @openlibhums' @janeway_systems.

@AbdnUniPress @charleswatkinso @UofMPress @UMichLibrary We're really happy to be working with you! And it's exciting to see another example of Open Access publishing on academy-owned infrastructure with @janeway_systems and @fulcrumpub .

Thanks to @charleswatkinso @tafticus and their brilliant colleagues @UofMPress and @UMichLibrary for helping us make this happen.

@ajrbyers @charleswatkinso @M_Publishing Doesn't everyone have an oil painting of themselves posed as Jimmy Stewart in the classic 1950 film "Harvey"? I thought that was normal

@M_Publishing is moving this spring to central campus. Tidying up, we're finding things . . .

Some good news, folks, on the booster (XBB.1.5). It induces robust levels of neutralizing antibodies vs JN.1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… All the more reason to get it if you haven't already. JN.1 will likely become dominant here by the holidays

The Free Electrical & Computer Engineering Textbook Initiative has saved students an estimated $50 million in textbook costs. We're excited to be a part of this program that truly embraces the #OAWeek theme of "Community over Commercialization." More here: services.publishing.umich.edu/Books/Electric…

@openlibhums please send help! We've trapped zombie journal mad scientist Dr. Elsie Veer in our office cage here at @M_Publishing but I don't think it's going to hold her very long... #OAWeek #OAWeek2023

It's pretty remarkable that you can see exactly when school starts in the Covid data by age. Look at how sharp that spike is vs adults, then after all the susceptables are infected in 2wks, it plummets. Pretty convincing of the high rate of spread in schools.

We're hiring! If you have a knack for supporting business processes, information workflows, metadata pipelines, or digital publishing operations, and want to work for a non-profit academic library publisher, then this should be of interest. careers.umich.edu/job_detail/240…

September 26th US update: Wave is in decline, but still elevated community spread. Current estimates: 🔸570,000 new infections/day 🔸1 in every 580 new people were infected today 🔸1 in every 58 people currently infected

I can't tell you how many times a graduating senior has said, "I wish I'd known sooner about all the library has to offer." But it's a lot. We're here for you, students!
