Chuck Henry will discuss Rice University Press, recently reborn as the nation’s first all-digital university press. Michael Lonegro, Humanities editor at Johns Hopkins University Press, will also join the discussion.
Henry came to Rice in 1996 from Vassar College, where he had been director of the libraries. As Rice’s vice provost and university librarian, he was responsible for the administration, strategy, policymaking and fundraising for the libraries, the Digital Library Initiative, the Electronic Resource Center (now the Digital Media Center) and, most recently, the Rice University Press. During 2000-04, he served also as vice president and chief information officer, taking on responsibility for administration, planning and policy for information technology services and data application centers and working with faculty and students in support of teaching and research. Henry revived the Rice University Press after a decade-long hiatus, taking advantage of technology to make it the first fully digital university press in the U.S. [Source: Rice University Website]
