University of Cincinnati Press is a university press operated by the University of Cincinnati. [2] The press is a member of both the Library Publishing Coalition and the Association of University Presses (having been accepted into both in 2017), [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and it is also an ambassador for the Ohio Library and Information Network's (OhioLINK) Affordable Learning initiative. [2] [7]
In 1901, Charles Phelps Taft gifted the University of Cincinnati $5,500 to purchase a printing press, whereupon the university began to issue publications marked with the "University of Cincinnati Press" imprint. [8] Works released by the press at this time included monographs [9] and textbooks, [10] as well as the University of Cincinnati Record (a bi-monthly periodical focused on university news) [11] and University Studies (a bi-monthly publication showcasing the work of University of Cincinnati faculty). [12] This iteration of the press ceased to publish in 1908, and the printing press itself was sold in 1914. [8] [a]
The modern version of the press was announced in 2016 before officially launching in January 2017. [2] [3] [13] In mid-2017, the press launched the Cincinnati Library Publishing Services (CLiPS) imprint to publish open-access textbooks and academic journals. [14] [15] Distribution for the University of Cincinnati Press is handled by the University of Chicago Press's Chicago Distribution Center. [1]
