Excellent article
Iβm in the Chronicle (!) with a new essay arguing that university presses are best positioned to continue doing good work if their successful books (and not the prospect of some disruptive transformation) are put at the center of how theyβre understood. Link follows.

@ABerzanskis good day, sir. Iβm reading Grannβs KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON and am struck by how much of Oklahoma history I do not know. Would you be willing to put a list of titles together for me? @OUPress titles would make it all the better.

And itβs a beautiful system!
Dear anyone born after 1995 or so: This is how we used to look up books to check out from the library. It was awesome. You can still look up books this way if you come to do research at the Eisenhower Presidential Library. Then you'll be awesome too. #ilikeike #ikelife
