University Press Library Open

University Press Library Open (UPLOpen) is an ambitious effort to accelerate open access eBook publishing in the scholarly community. Launched in 2024, in response to calls from the scholarly community, UPLOpen grew organically from the success of the De Gruyter University Press Library (UPL), a program developed by academic publisher De Gruyter to make the acquisition of eBook collections more predictable and sustainable for both presses and libraries. The UPLOpen model leverages insights gained from UPL as well as from other open access eBook initiatives including TOME, Luminos, and Opening the Future.
