The MIT Press is the university press of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The MIT Press publishes more than 300 books and over 40 academic journals each year, and pioneers open access models in academic publishing. The MIT Press primarily publishes academic and general interest titles, including textbooks, across fields spanning art and design, architecture, business, cognitive science, computer science, technology, and more. The MIT Press traces its origins back to 1926 when MIT published a lecture series entitled Problems of Atomic Dynamics by the visiting German physicist and later Nobel Prize winner, Max Born. In 1932, MIT established the imprint Technology Press. This imprint was founded by James R. Killian, Jr., then editor of MIT's alumni magazine, Technology Review, and later MIT's 11th president. Technology Press published eight titles independently until 1937, when it entered into an arrangement with John Wiley & Sons in which Wiley took over distribution and editorial responsibilities. Wiley and the press published 125 titles together until their association ended in 1962. Since then, the press, a unit of MIT, has published independently of other publishers. In 1961, Technology Press was renamed the MIT Press, and in 1962 Carroll Bowen was appointed the MIT Press's first director.
