Creating an Ebook at CUNY?

Posted by Alycia Sellie (she/her/they) on March 7, 2013 at 7:32 pm

Hi everyone,

A group of faculty members at Brooklyn College are interested to publish proceedings from their upcoming conference as an ebook. They reached out to the library to see if there was a way to do this through CUNY somehow (not sure if they had heard of something or just were wondering), and I don’t know of any publishing platforms via CUNY for ebooks, but I was wondering if any of you have any information or suggestions about potential ways to publish an ebook–either inside CUNY or otherwise?

  Not sure if openbookpublishers does proceedings, but they may be exploring it and could be worth contacting:

  Never used it but what about PressBooks http://pressbooks.com/? It’s probably pretty easy to configure.

  If CUNY gets Digital Commons for an institutional repository, it has a whole conference proceedings module. But getting it is of course a big if right now.
