Rice University Press in the Chronicle

The Houston Chronicle recently highlighted Rice University Press for its digital publishing of scholarly works, all of which are openly available on Connexions. While other university presses are exploring digital options, the article says that "Rice goes further: Every book may be read online for free; none are printed until an order is placed, with the payment covering the cost of printing and delivering the book. There is no sales staff, nor warehouses to hold unsold books." The fully digital options allow the press to support unique projects that don't fit into traditional marketing categories. You can read about the press's latest projects in the full article here, and you can see all the Rice University books available through Connexions by visiting the Rice University Press lens on Connexions.
