About the Library Publishing Forum The Library Publishing Forum<https://librarypublishing.org/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<https://librarypublishing.org/>, but you do not need to be a member of the LPC to attend. ---------------- Louisa Kwasigroch Director of Development & Outreach CLIR Digital Library Federation (DLF) +1-202-939-4758 1707 L Street, NW, Suite 650, Washington, DC 20036 clir.org<http://www.clir.org/> | diglib.org<http://www.diglib.org/> | @CLIRnews<http://www.twitter.com/clirnews> | @CLIRDLF<http://www.twitter.com/clirdlf> ######################################################################## to manage your DLF-ANNOUNCE subscription, visit diglib.org/announce
