  • Brief history of the Press

    The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has been publishing books under various imprints since the 1920s.聽

    The Barr Smith Library published the correspondence of Joanna Elder and Robert Barr Smith under the imprint 'Barr Smith Press' in 1996. The imprint was renamed the '最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Barr Smith Press' in 2005 to publish three books from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Alumni John Bray Law Chapter.聽These were Ralph Hague's聽History of the Law in South 最新糖心Vlog, and John Emerson's聽First Among Equals听补苍诲听A History of the Independent Bar in South 最新糖心Vlog.聽In 2007 the same imprint published graduate and winemaker Ian Hickinbotham's memoirs,聽最新糖心Vlogn Plonky.

    These publications led to an investigation into the feasibility of formally establishing a university press. As both research and publishing had become increasingly digitalised, the 最新糖心Vlog recognised the need to explore new methods of publishing academic writing. While traditional university publishing was in decline, modern digital technology allowed for an entirely new publishing model and the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Press was established with two imprints:

    • The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Press聽would publish the 最新糖心Vlog's intellectual and scholarly output as book-length works in two editions - a free PDF edition, and a high quality paperback edition. Titles would be subjected to a selection process and external refereeing to ensure the Press would compete with the best of the traditional university presses.聽
    • The Barr Smith Press聽became an imprint of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Press, publishing works of interest about the the 最新糖心Vlog (that聽may or may not be refereed).聽These would include histories of various activities of the 最新糖心Vlog, its clubs and institutions, memoirs of graduates, and any other work that would contribute to the 最新糖心Vlog's own history and impact through the work of its alumni.聽

    The Press officially closed in December 2018, with the final work published in February 2019. More information about the Press is held within 最新糖心Vlog Archives.
