The article reports that Rice University announced in August 2006 that it will be the first all electronic university press. Rice will produce all academic works in electronic format and post them to a Web site rather than print books on paper. Rice had a traditional university press until the 1990s; the high costs associated with a paper-based press led to its shutting down.

Readers can also pay to have a printout of scholarly works printed by a separate print-on-demand company.
