HathiTrust, a shared digital repository, is archiving and providing access to reformatted library holdings and monographs submitted by university presses at partner institutions. However, HathiTrust does not yet have a capacity to archive and provide access to born-digital publisher content.

The University of Michigan Library plans to build a suite of publication tools tied to the HathiTrust, and hopes to eventually offer the tools as a hosted service for HathiTrust members. What are the needs and opportunities for a shared infrastructure for journal publishing?
