About the Conference
The Library Publishing Forum brings together representatives from libraries engaged in (or considering) publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and challenges; to identify and document collaborative opportunities; to strengthen and promote this community of practice; and to advance this vibrant subfield of academic publishing.
We welcome participants from a broad, international spectrum of academic libraries, as well as groups that collaborate with libraries to publish scholarly works including the digital humanities. You do not need to be a member of the LPC to attend. A program and slides from last year's Forum are available at
http://www.librarypublishing.org/events/lpforum16.
Video recordings of selected sessions are forthcoming.
The Library Publishing Forum is organized by the LPC’s Program Committee:
Jeff Rubin, Tulane University (2016-17 chair)
William Kane, Wake Forest University
David Scherer, Carnegie Mellon University
Scott Walter, DePaul University
Aaron McCollough, UIUC
