"Creating and maintaining a publishing program gives libraries space to live out their espoused values of open access and diversification of voices."
--from the Foreword by Emma Molls, Director of Open Research & Publishing, University of Minnesota, and Past President, Library Publishing Coalition Shifting landscapes of academic publishing, open access initiatives, transformative agreements, and questionable scholarly publishing practices have all contributed to an evolution in the role libraries play within academic institutions and the development of many library publishing programs. In three parts--Launching, Enhancing, and Sustaining a Library Publishing Program--Library Publishing offers different perspectives from diverse programs, processes, and challenges that can help you scale content to meet your campus's needs. It provides library workers and administrators with several considerations for creating a program, as well as a glossary of terms, ways to choose the right technologies, leveraging consortia, crafting contracts, and more. Chapters offer strategies for approaching the labor involved in library publishing, much of it unseen and requiring new expertise. Chapter authors--from instruction librarians to dedicated scholarly communication and publishing librarians to teaching and research faculty--offer ways and ideas for campus collaborations and using publishing to enhance student success. In this diversity of thought, library publishing is not a monolith; it is a process by which change can be effected. Library Publishing can help you begin and sustain change. This book is also available as an open access edition.
