== full description ==

This poster will provide an overview of a recently launched scholarly publishing service at a public research university. This service, like many other publishing services in academic libraries, is provided only to those affiliated with the university, but unlike others, it charges fees to publish that vary based on the editorial and/or design services desired. All publications are freely available to read online, with many made available under Creative Commons licenses, and some are also available in print, as e-books, or both. Authors keep their copyright.

The poster will show a sample title presented in electronic and print format and feature a diagram of the fee structure, which includes one required fee and optional add-on services.  Options for third-party print and e-book distribution offered as part of this service will be presented.  The fee structure and distribution options will be useful for other institutions looking to set up a publishing service.
