The Library Publishing Coalition and the Educopia Institute, in collaboration with the Digital Library Federation (DLF), are excited to host an in-person workshop at the 2018 DLF Forum based on the IMLS-funded Developing a Curriculum to Advance Library-Based Publishing project. The full-day workshop will take place on Sunday, October 14 (the day before the Forum) at the M Resort just outside of Las Vegas, NV. The workshop is limited to 20 participants, to be selected through a brief application process.
While the workshop is affiliated with and will complement the DLF Forum, please note that you do not have to attend the Forum to participate. See below for the workshop description and application instructions.
Note: This workshop is based on the Content module of the Library Publishing Curriculum released in early 2018.
The Content Workshop (based on the Content Module) covers how library publishers attract, select, edit, manage, and disseminate content. It includes information about how to recruit partners and select content for a program, and how to incorporate diverse voices into each part of the publication process. It also shares information about common production workflows, identifying the resources and staff skills needed to support various editorial strategies and content types.
Instructor: Matt Ruen, Grand Valley State University
