Open Access Books / UNC Press Partnership

The University of North Carolina Press advances the UNC System’s triple mission of research, teaching, and public service by publishing excellent work from leading scholars, writers, and intellectuals and by presenting that work to both academic audiences and general readers.

The Office of Scholarly Publishing Services (OSPS) expands the Press’s role within the UNC System to support publishing originating at our diverse universities by lowering the cost of producing and disseminating quality educational and scholarly publications. Many OSPS publications are published open access, with print copies available at low cost. OSPS has published scholarly books and journals, textbooks, course packs, manuals, conference and symposia proceedings, as well as reissues of out-of-print books.

In 1953, UNC Press and the UNC Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages and Literatures started the UNC Studies in Germanic Languages and Literatures series. Over the next fifty years, the series published 127 monographs, anthologies, and critical editions. In 2019, the Press received a Humanities Open Book Program grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Partnering with the Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages and Literatures and the UNC at Chapel Hill Libraries, books in the series were released in new paperback and open access ebook editions.

Nearly 100 additional titles are available open access from the UNC Press. Areas of strength include Appalachian and North Carolina Studies, education, and literature. Increasingly, OSPS is partnering on open access textbooks, including sociology and political science texts and a six-volume textbook used in courses covering microwave and radio frequency design.
