The Scholarly Publishing Office http www.lib.umich.edu spo SPO , a unit of the University of Michigan Library , is devoted to developing innovative and economically sustainable publishing and distribution models for scholarly discourse. Since 2001, the Scholarly Publishing Office has provided a suite of publishing services to scholars at U M and beyond, in order to provide alternatives to commercial academic publishing. In addition to developing cost effective methods of publication, SPO also helps scholars increase access to their work by making it openly available online, within a trusted and durable digital library environment. Library based publishing services such as those offered by the U M Library s Scholarly Publishing Office contribute to a more robust, efficient, and diverse system of scholarly communication. Background SPO is unique among publishers because of its affiliation with a major university library. Historically, libraries have defined their mission according to the rubrics of collecting, preserving, cataloging, and distributing the fruits of scholarly inquiry. For many years this broadly conceived mission has sufficed today, the economics of the publishing world have created a situation in which the status quo is impossible to maintain. Library budgets for public universities like the U M are either cut or stagnant, while the costs of publishing in print form continue to rise. Publishing conglomerates drive subscription rates up, while libraries struggle and in many case fail to keep up. Smaller academic publishing houses do not generate sufficient revenue to support themselves, and their institutional subsidies have been slashed. Many presses have closed, and those that remain have raised prices for their books to a near prohibitive level, further restricting sales. Harnessing the flexibility and relatively inexpensive resources of electronic publishing, SPO responds to the economic challenges of scholarly publication by providing a cost effective ... more details
