Re: Hello [University of Michigan Library]

HI Jason,

Great to see University of Michigan joining the Publishing Business Group!  We look forward to your participation as you are able.  

It was a pleasure meeting you this past June at your offices in Ann Arbor and I hope you will be able to attend both the Technical Plenary and Advisory Committee meeting this November as well as the W3C Publishing Summit in San Francisco!

Kind regards,

Karen Myers

I direct the Publishing Services unit in the University of Michigan Library (we’ve just joined through the TPI membership option) and serve as the Library’s AC member. In this context, I’m particularly interested in accessibility, sustainability, and preservation issues for EPUB-based publishing. We at Michigan continue to develop our Mellon-funded digital publishing platform, Fulcrum <http://fulcrum.org/>, which is based on the Samvera/Fedora framework and aimed particularly at the needs of University Presses and Library publishers and will be using EPUB 3 as the underlying format in its repository.
