September 23—Sanford Thatcher
Sanford Thatcher will discuss open access, which is viewed by librarians and their allies in
academic administration as an antidote to the domination of certain sectors of higher education
publishing by a few large internationally active companies. The talk will explore the various
dimensions of the phenomenon, including the relative absence of discussion about open access
as it affects book publishing, and attempt an assessment of its promises and pitfalls as a way
to effect change to a new model, or models.
Thatcher is the former director of Penn State University Press. His most significant
achievement was to forge a working relationship with the Penn State Libraries that resulted in
the joint launching of the Office of Digital Scholarly Publishing in 2005, followed by the merger
of the Press into the Libraries later that year. He has served on many boards, including the Copyright Committee
of the Association of American University Presses, the Association of American Publishers, and the Association for
Copyright Enforcement, overseeing the landmark suit against Texaco. In retirement, he will continue to work
part-time as an acquiring editor in social sciences for Penn State University Press. This lecture celebrates the
20th Anniversary of the University of Rochester Press.
