The University of Tennessee Libraries Newfound Press Scholarly Publishing Demonstration

Linda Phillips, University of Tennessee Knoxville

Abstract

Launched in 2005, the University of Tennessee Newfound Press demonstrates open access; ensures quality through peer review; encourages innovative approaches to the creation and dissemination of scholarly and specialized work; seeks content with narrow focus or innovative format unlikely to be published by a market-driven press; helps authors of specialized content disseminate their work; and experiments with new forms of publication. This presentation describes the reasons for starting Newfound Press; offers highlights from the business plan; and discusses the convergence of Newfound Press with other campus publishing, including the digital showcase and archive, Trace (operates on the bepress Digital Commons platform), and the University of Tennessee Press.
