#UPWeek continues. Today we ask, what does our press do to #TeamUP? 

In March, Daniel Miele visited two Dutch universities, exploring the shared challenges between publishers and libraries, and how they can support one another with the increased demand for #OpenAccess. 

Libraries: Keepers of History and History Makers
The importance of libraries shone through as not only providers of history and knowledge, but as being part of history themselves.

Why do we #TeamUP? Because collaboration drives impact.

This #UPWeek, we reflect on our title, Women Who Dared, and the powerful insights that each essay tells us about the conflicts, identities and power relations that women live today.
