About the Library Publishing 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.
