A partnership between Penn State Press and the University Libraries has formed to create an Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing at Penn State. The principal mission of the Office of Digital Publishing will be to use new media technologies to advance scholarly communication at Penn State and beyond. Through projects sponsored by the office, the libraries and the Press will be able to clarify the costs associated with electronic publishing and assess the long-term benefits to the scholarly communication system. The work of the office will also directly involve the Penn State community in managing the changes to the benefit of the faculty and their research goals
