Wiley and OSA form publishing partnership

June 29, 2005, Hoboken, NJ--John Wiley & Sons and the Optical Society of America (OSA) have signed an agreement to publish a new co-branded series of books under a joint Wiley-OSA imprint.

Under this multi-year agreement, Wiley and OSA will collaborate to publish five to ten new titles a year for the optics, optical engineering and photonics market. The first books under this new imprint are expected for publication in 2007.

"Partnering with Wiley will ensure that these new books will be more widely distributed than was ever possible with our former self-published titles, thus helping us to better serve the needs of our community, including educators, scientists, researchers, engineers and students," said, Alan N. Tourtlotte, Director and Associate Publisher, OSA. "It also will enable us to provide these high-quality products at a reduced price for our members."
