The future of university-based publishing can only be built by working together across organizations and individuals who are part of the academy-affiliated knowledge infrastructure, ensuring that investments and outcomes are in line with shared values and common missions.
Participation in the UBPF community can support individual professional development, program or organizational goals, and field-level efforts to increase support for university-based publishing. There are opportunities for both individuals and organizations to get involved.
