Retention of two full-time and one part-time Cornell University Press staff members, development of a permanent digital repository for the press's Open Access titles and digitization of new Open Access eBooks in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.

"Open Access in a Closed World" will task Cornell University Press staff threatened with furloughs and layoffs as a result of the economic disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic with creating a permanent and easily accessible repository for all of the Press’s Open Access content, will make this content more readily discoverable and usable, and will create 20 new Open Access books in the humanities and humanistic social sciences for use by students, faculty, and the general public.
