Day One of the AAUP meeting in Philadelphia

That's American Association of University Presses. Yesterday was spent in a very useful and enjoyable discussion of fund-raising for university presses. Discussion centred around the various types of fund-raising that presses do, from title subventions and project funding to raising funds for endowments. Many different best practices were discussed, and picked apart. Those attending the round-table included press directors from Texas, Duke, the Getty, Amsterdam, Missouri, NYU, Rutgers, Texas A&M and others. Also present were development officers, both those employed by their presses or those employed by university development offices, and assigned to their university presses on some part-time basis.
