Association of American University Presses Celebrates 75 years of Cooperation and Service

Author: Association of American University Presses
Dateline: New York, New York (NEW YORK, N.Y.)  | Wed, 18 Jan 2012

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “The Association of American University Presses (AAUP) celebrates the 75th anniversary of its founding in 1937. AAUP is an organization grounded in a tradition of service, whose members engage in forward-looking publishing programs and innovations. Both the history of the association and the future of scholarly communications will provide focus for a series of events, including a 'University Press Week' in November 2012, to mark the occasion of the AAUP 75th anniversary.”



A R T I C L E:

The Association of American University Presses (AAUP) celebrates the 75th anniversary of its founding in 1937. AAUP is an organization grounded in a tradition of service, whose members engage in forward-looking publishing programs and innovations. Both the history of the association and the future of scholarly communications will provide focus for a series of events, including a "University Press Week" in November 2012, to mark the occasion of the AAUP 75th anniversary.

AAUP President MaryKatherine Callaway (Director, Louisiana State University Press) states: "Over the past 75 years, the AAUP has promoted collaboration among its member presses and worked to help them explain the significant role university presses play. Not only do we contribute to the academic process, but many presses also examine and explain the culture and history of their region, and all AAUP members publish books that educate, inform, and enlighten. The organization also continues to assist its presses to make sense of an increasingly complex publishing landscape, providing a forum for the exchange of ideas, information, and expertise."

What is the Association of American University Presses?

AAUP can be defined by both its members and its mission. In 1937, a dozen or so university presses, representing institutions across North America, appointed officers to a new association, formalizing the ad hoc conversations between scholarly publishers that had been taking place since the 1920s. Today, AAUP represents 134 nonprofit scholarly publishers from 10 countries. While most AAUP members are presses sponsored by or based at universities, a significant number are independent publishers, or the publishing arms of societies, museums, and think tanks, that share the mission and standards of AAUP.

AAUP members publish books, journals, and new forms of scholarly work across all fields of inquiry from the humanities and social sciences to mathematics, medicine, and technology, and often support emerging and interdisciplinary scholarship. AAUP presses range greatly in size, from those publishing 2-5 new titles each year, to those who produce in excess of 2000. Each press shares a commitment to serve society, the academy, and their community through disseminating works of scholarship, art, and thought.

AAUP's mission is to assist its members through professional education, cooperative services, and public advocacy. "Our mission has remained consistent over the past 75 years," says AAUP Executive Director Peter Givler, "although what the association does to support that mission evolves along with publishing trends, new technologies, and the shifting landscape of scholarly communications."

Throughout 2012, AAUP will dive into its archives to refresh institutional memory, through online features and articles about the milestones and important programs that have shaped the association. Today, January 18, marks the date in 1928 when 12 university presses met and decided on the first cooperative project of the ad hoc group, a combined catalog of university press books titled "Shelfward Ho!" Every thoughtful publisher and scholar knows, however, that while an understanding of the past is vital, it is the work of today and tomorrow that holds the most importance for the next 75 years of nonprofit scholarly publishing.

"Progress and a cohesive spirit" was the how Publishers Weekly characterized AAUP in 1967, and this can serve as a motto still today. At the 2012 AAUP Annual Meeting in Chicago (June 18-20) and during the inaugural "University Press Week" (November 11-17), the association, its members, and its wider community will engage the present and future of AAUP and scholarly communications.

New Survey Provides Insights from Users of Over 100 Restaurant Point of Sale Systems

Author: RestaurantOwner.com
Dateline: Houston, Texas (HOUSTON, Texas)  | Wed, 18 Jan 2012

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “RestaurantOwner (www.RestaurantOwner.com), a membership website for independent restaurant operators, has released, on their website, the results of a detailed survey of their members' experiences with their current point of sale systems. Over 1,500 individual independent operators participated and provided detailed feedback on over 100 different POS systems.”



A R T I C L E:

RestaurantOwner, a membership website for independent restaurant operators, has released, on their website, the results of a detailed survey of their members' experiences with their current point of sale systems. Over 1,500 individual independent operators participated and provided detailed feedback on over 100 different POS systems.

Choosing a point of sale system is considered to be one of the most important decisions any restaurant operator makes. With the average cost of a POS system approaching the $20,000 mark, it's not only an expensive decision but one that affects ongoing restaurant operations in several crucial areas.

A POS system should be one of a restaurant's most important assets by providing cash and inventory controls, improved speed of service, better decision-making and even sales growth opportunities. This survey confirms that if properly chosen, a POS can potentially pay for itself in a matter of months. But conversely, selecting the wrong system or one from the wrong vendor can become a source of operational problems and ongoing frustration for the operator for years to come.

Survey results indicate a strong correlation between the operators' degree of overall satisfaction with their POS system and their relationship with the POS vendor.

"Operators that had good experiences with respect to vendor training and support, be it online or on site, generally reported they were pleased with their POS choice," said Joe Erickson, Vice President of RestaurantOwner.com.

Survey questions captured operator responses regarding their POS system's ease-of-use, programmability and reliability. Participants also rated the quality of vendor training and ongoing support as well as common POS features such as reporting, timekeeping and inventory control.

In addition, many survey participants provided extensive comments about their experiences with the functional aspects of their POS system and the quality of the vendor training and support they received.

PowerGuard Specialty Insurance Services announces that leading global provider of solar energy services, SunEdison, a client of retail insurance broker Lockton Companies, has joined the growing number of solar energy providers to adopt PowerGuard's unique PowerClip extended warranty protection.

SunEdison develops, finances, operates and monitors solar energy solutions worldwide, ranging from some of the world's largest solar deployments to residential customers' rooftops. SunEdison is a subsidiary of MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE:WFR), a global leader in polysilicon and silicon wafer manufacturing, the foundation upon which most solar cells and semiconductor devices are built.

According to Kurt R. Bruenning, Treasurer of MEMC Electronic Materials, "We were impressed with the many unique features and valuable business benefits of the PowerGuard Solution. It was clearly developed by people who understand the nature of our business and anticipate the challenges an emerging industry and new technology face. Their people have proven to be outstanding partners to Gary Giulietti and our Lockton retail team throughout the entire underwriting and coverage placement process."

A specialty renewable energy Program Manager based in the United States, PowerGuard provides an innovative 25-year, non-cancellable quality and performance guarantee solution to back-up a manufacturer's own warranty terms.

Mike McMullen, managing principal of PowerGuard, says, "PowerGuard is proud that our innovative risk-transfer product is quickly gaining momentum with leading solar energy providers around the world like SunEdison and MEMC. We are committed to continuing to support the expansion and success of the global renewable energy industry with unique, leading-edge products and services."

Guaranteeing warranty terms through the use of insurance provides the certainty manufacturers and their customers desire, as well as long-term stability for the industry.

"The PowerGuard solution is an important way for solar energy providers to gain a greater degree of business certainty and it allows developers of solar parks to finance photovoltaic installations more easily and with increased flexibility," states Gary Giulietti, president of Lockton Companies' Farmington, CT operations. "We are very excited to partner with Mike and the PowerGuard team in delivering this innovative and valuable warranty product to our client, SunEdison."

PowerGuard's warranty solution, which is available directly from PowerGuard or through various retail brokers, provides certainty and security to the solar manufacturer's end customers. Its warranty terms are non-cancellable, surviving even insolvency and bankruptcy. Third-party rights to the policy, in case the original solar manufacturer goes out of business are also offered, and are backed by the capital strength of the insurance market.
