Cornell Library to Distribute its Open Source Electronic
Publishing System
Ithaca, NY -- Cornell University Library is developing an open source
publication management system that will provide authors and publishers
with a more affordable way to publish scholarly research on the Web. In
making its DPubS software available to libraries, university presses, and
other independent publishers, Cornell will expand opportunities for
creative communication among scholars around the world.
Cornell has received a $670,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation to enhance and extend its innovative electronic publishing
software called DPubS (Digital Publishing System). "DPubS will offer
libraries, university presses, and others the capability to publish open
access or subscription-based journals more cost effectively. It should be
a terrific catalyst for change in scholarly publishing," said Sarah
Thomas, Cornell University Librarian.
