*Library Publishing Curriculum Pilot Workshops at the Library Publishing
Forum*



The Developing A Curriculum to Advance Library-Based Publishing
<https://educopia.org/research/libpubcurriculum> project will host a pair
of in-person workshops
<https://librarypublishing.org/library-publishing-curriculum-pilot-workshop-lpforum18/>
based on the first two curriculum modules released this spring
<https://librarypublishing.org/first-library-publishing-curriculum-modules-released/>,
*Content *and *Impact*. Both will take place on Thursday, May 24 (the day
after the Library Publishing Forum) at the University of Minnesota. Each
workshop is limited to 20 participants, to be selected through a brief
application process. There are also four *diversity scholarships* available
to cover participant travel - see below for details. While the workshops
are affiliated with and will complement the Library Publishing Forum
<https://librarypublishing.org/library-publishing-forum/>, please note that
you do not have to attend the Forum to participate in the workshops or to
receive a scholarship. *There is no registration fee for the workshops. *



WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

*Library Publishing Curriculum: Content*

The *Content *workshop will cover how library publishers attract, select,
edit, manage, and disseminate content. Attendees will learn how to recruit
partners and select content for their program, and how to incorporate
diverse voices into each part of the publication process. The workshop will
also share information on common production workflows, identifying the
resources and staff skills needed to support various editorial strategies
and content types.

*Instructors: **Joshua Neds-Fox, Wayne State University and Charlotte Roh,
University of San Francisco*



*Library Publishing Curriculum: Impact*

The *Impact *workshop will focus on how library publishers measure and
extend the impact of their work. Attendees will learn to identify and apply
specific impact measures for publications, to assess the performance of a
publishing program and publication portfolio, and to build an engagement
strategy and evaluate its effects.

*Instructor: **Rebecca Welzenbach, University of Michigan*
