"Indeed the opportunity be part of the KU Collection was highly motivating -- it really inspired us to pursue excellence on all fronts and to make sure the project progressed as expediently as possible. We realized that if we could publish our book OA with KU, we could serve a very broad and diverse readership. We hope to reach students, scholars, people in professional sectors, and interested lay persons around the world. It also provides great relief to researchers, who no longer need to wait to 'get a book' but can jump into a text spontaneously, anywhere, anytime."

"By being a part of KU, my book will reach a much wider audience that it otherwise would with traditional publishing alone. But I also hope that my participation in the program will, in some small way, help raise awareness about OA possibilities for others in my field. The more research that is OA, the better it is for all of us!"

"It is wonderful that academic books (which often come at a high price) are being made freely available to anyone who is interested. I'd obviously be delighted if people found my research to be useful. So I hope that the KU Program goes from strength to strength".
