“…However, this article argues that the University Press is able to demonstrate reputational value to the University and that this justifies a local subsidy [7,16]. A relatively small investment (as opposed to subsidy, which implies little or no return) from the University could help to make the Press sustainable in the short term and also to help it grow and innovate in the long term.…”

Abstract. In 2012, the University of Huddersfield Press presented a paper at the 16th International Conference on Electronic Publishing on its new open access journals platform. At the time, the Press was one of the only New University Presses (NUP) in the UK and one of the first to publish open access journals, open access monographs and sound recordings. This article discusses a number of emerging business models for NUPs before developing Hahn's programme and publication level business plan, which is then related to the sustainability of the Press at Huddersfield. The article will demonstrate how the Press is able to show value to the University in order to secure funding. The paper will conclude with a discussion around the need for collaboration between library-led NUPs. Although this paper concentrates on the experiences of the University of Huddersfield Press, it will be relevant to other emerging or planned NUPs.Keywords: Library, publishing, university press, open access, business models IntroductionIn 2012, the University of Huddersfield Press (the 'University Press') presented a paper at the 16th International Conference on Electronic Publishing on its new open access journals platform [39]. At the time, the Press was one of the only New University Presses (NUP) in the UK and one of the first to publish open access journals, open access monographs and sound recordings. Since then the Press has published seven journals, ten scholarly monographs and nine music recordings. However, over this time the University Press has developed organically without a clear business model. This article will discuss a number of emerging business models that could be applied to NUPs before recommending a way forward for the University of Huddersfield Press. Hahn's [15] programme and publication level business planning will be described and expanded in relation to the sustainability of the University Press. The article will also demonstrate how the Press has been able to show value to the University in order to secure future funding.Although this paper concentrates on the experiences of the University of Huddersfield Press, it will be relevant to other emerging or planned NUPs. These new publishing ventures, often based in the library, have harnessed the changes in the digital landscape and the rise of the open access movement to allow them to publish scholarly works, such as journals and monographs. Hahn [15] describes library publishing as offering a truncated list of services when compared to the traditional publishing model. These truncated services may in fact represent a leaner version of traditional 'legacy' publishers. Davis

“…Many new presses have paid little attention to sustainability and financial planning [7]. In a survey for ARL, Hahn [15] found that very few library publishers were able to 'support even 10 journal titles or more than a handful of monographic works' (p. 25).…”

“…Esta circunstância tem motivado a ampliação da missão das bibliotecas universitárias, incluindo redefinição do seu papel e inovação dos serviços prestados, com o propósito de promover a sua adaptação às novas necessidades das instituições onde estão inseridas. Entre os novos serviços oferecidos, algumas bibliotecas estão desenvolvendo programas de editoração em linha e com isso explorando novos modelos de comunicação na academia (HAHN, 2008;CROW, 2009).…”
