About the Forum
The Library Publishing Forum is an annual conference bringing together representatives from libraries engaged in (or considering) publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and challenges; to identify and document collaborative opportunities; and to strengthen and promote this community of practice. The Forum includes representatives from a broad, international spectrum of academic library backgrounds, as well as groups that collaborate with libraries to publish scholarly works, including publishing vendors, university presses, and scholars. The Forum is sponsored by the Library Publishing Coalition, but you do not need to be a member of the LPC to attend.
Some categories we hope to receive proposals for this year’s forum include (but are not limited to): Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI), university presses, society and association partnerships, funding models, copyright, open access publishing, and Open Educational Resources (OER).
