The community formation statement working group identified three action commitments that the UBPF community will undertake to move our work and values forward.
- Build relationships and increase alignment within the community.
The UBPF Group on Knowledge Commons is the primary field for this commitment to flourish and grow. From there we will organize and inform about progress on additional working group commitments, create space for informal professional network connections to be made, and plant the seeds of future actions. - Create a program of knowledge-sharing.
A working group is being formed to pursue this commitment. We will seek to both open existing siloed resources to the full UBPF community, as well as understanding and meeting as-yet-unserved needs.

A working group is being formed to pursue this commitment. We will identify the audiences to reach, articulate the value of our work, and develop resources to increase appreciation of and investment in university-based publishing. Learn more about participating in this working group.
