A Small, Respected University Press Fights Off a Push To Eliminate It.
Shea, Christopher
Chronicle of Higher Education, v44 n32 pA16-A17 Apr 17 1998

The debate highlights the economic difficulties of academic publishing and the role of the university press in the scholarly life of the institution. (MSE)
