Rice University Press Relaunches Online

Today’s Wall Street Journal reports that Rice University’s academic press imprint, which went out of business 10 years ago, will relaunch with an online model. The story says that Rice University Press will

post works online at a new Web site, where people can read a full copy of the book free. They can also order a regular, bound copy from an on-demand printer, at a cost far less than picking up the book in a store.

Connexions is the company that will support Rice in this effort. (Thanks to helliemae for the link!)
