Abstract
Within days of the 11 September, 2001 terrorist attacks, Penn State University Press was swamped with queries about two backlist scholarly titles, Terrorism in Context and The Holy War Idea in Islamic and Western Thought. Sanford Thatcher, director of Penn State's press, knew that other university presses had published similar books and had an idea. On 13 September, Thatcher e-mailed the Association of American University Presses (AAUP), and suggested that AAUP compile a short bibliography of relevant books to post online at www.aaupnet.org. Six months later, under the rubric ‘Books for Understanding,’ that bibliography contained listings for 671 titles from sixty-five non-profit scholarly presses, and had provided the foundation for a dynamic permanent public information resource.
