The Robertson Library hosts and supports an open-source publishing platform called Pressbooks. Pressbooks is a book content management system that uses the Wordpress interface to publish books in a variety of accessible formats such as PDF (print and digital), ePUB, MOBI, webbook, XML, and so on. 

Pressbooks is free to the campus community and allows you to publish your scholarly works using an online platform. It is optimized for open textbooks and open educational resources but can be used for other works. Using Pressbooks to self-publish allows you to contribute to an online sharing community where knowledge is freely and openly distributed.
