Sayeed Choudhury of Johns Hopkins’ Sheridan Libraries details the collaboration between the library, JHU Press, MUSE Open, and the Black Press Research Collective. Together they are producing a “new aggregation” that connects primary sources and peer-reviewed scholarship across multiple platforms. Learn how that collaboration came about and why bringing in researchers’ voices was so important to shaping the publication strategy.
Black Press in America represents a collaborative strategy for publishing that respects the needs of researchers and leverages the strengths of libraries, university presses and aggregators. Learn about it and how similar projects may shape open publication.
