University presses fill an important role in our society, and indeed in the world.
As the publishing arm of their parent universities, these presses have access to the best ideas and research produced by the scholarly community. By publishing these ideas in books and journals, university presses help shape the dialogue within the scholarly community, and between the scholarly community and the rest of the world. The AAUP promotes the work and influence of university presses, provides cooperative marketing efforts, and helps its members respond to the changing economy and environment.
