Long perceived as a bastion of the academic book, the university press now finds itself operating under a range of business models, in an increasing number of possible locations on campus, and with the measurement of 'success' markedly different across host institutions. Yet this study of the underpinning rationale for a growth in university presspublishing in the UK, and of the award of major grants to several US presses, highlights that the university press remains a barometer for proposed structural changes to knowledge dissemination and debates around the future of the book in the academy.

COVID-19 has created global upheaval in a way not seen since the Second World War. Among the sectors hardest hit has been education, with modes of teaching and research, a long-term trajectory of internationalisation and multiple revenue streams for universities disrupted in ways unthinkable twelve months ago. This final session of the Redux Online looks at the potential impacts on university presses of an altered landscape. Leaders from the library and university press worlds will examine how previous strategic priorities and practices have changed and will change for some of the key stakeholders in scholarly publishing. Recording of a live webinar held on 30 July 2020 as part of the Redux Online series.
