History
History
In 1901, Charles Phelps Taft gifted the University of Cincinnati $5,500 to purchase a printing press, whereupon the university began to issue publications marked with the "University of Cincinnati Press" imprint. Works released by the press at this time included monographs, textbooks, and the University of Cincinnati Record (a bi-monthly periodical focused on university news) and University Studies (a bi-monthly publication showcasing the work of University of Cincinnati faculty). This iteration of the press ceased to publish in 1908, and the printing press itself was sold in 1914. The modern version of the press was announced in 2016 before officially launching in January 2017. In mid-2017, the press launched the Cincinnati Library Publishing Services (CLiPS) imprint to publish open-access textbooks and academic journals. When the press was active, distribution was handled by the University of Chicago Press's Chicago Distribution Center. In October of 2024, the closure of the University of Cincinnati Press was announced, effective June 30, 2025. Distribution of previously published works is now handled by the University of Minnesota Press.
