For a number of years VIU Library has supported Open Books Publishers as an interdisciplinary publisher of quality academic ebooks that pursues progressive and innovative models to promote access and sustainability. 

OBP is an independent open access academic press that publishes peer-reviewed, monographs, edited collections, textbooks, critical translations and more. Open Book Publishers welcome submissions from any field, with a particular focus on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Works may be shorter or longer than the ‘standard’ 80,000 words, and may be innovative in terms of format.
Works are open access, and also logged in student, faculty, and staff users of the library will be able to download for free, and keep, formatted digital editions (pdf, XML). Additional formats (epub) and print editions are available for purchase.
OBP does not charge authors to publish and authors retain full copyright.
