The Corner Office: Pressing Forward Into Digital Publishing
Mudditt spoke with Book Business about how technology is impacting the UC Press and the industry as a whole.
● How will your years in the education/STM publishing sectors be applied to the university press world?
Alison Mudditt: I have always held a firm belief that education and scholarship matter, both for enriching us as individuals and for improving society as a whole. After over 20 years in the business, I remain passionate about the business of academic publishing, and the twin pillars of nurturing the best work from the best scholars, and disseminating this for global impact. There are, sadly, fewer and fewer organizations left where these values have the opportunity to thrive in the way they do at UC Press—an organization that is both committed to scholarship and has the global resources to advance and disseminate it.
