Library publishing directory, 2014

Abstract

The first edition of the Library Publishing Directory provides a snapshot of the activities of 115 academic and research libraries, including information about the number and types of publications they produce, the services they offer authors, how they are staffed and funded, and the future plans of institutions that are engaged in this emerging In documenting the breadth and depth of activities in this field, this resource aims to articulate the unique value of library publishing; establish it as a significant and growing community of practice; and to raise its visibility within a number of stakeholder communities, including administrators, funding agencies, other scholarly publishers, librarians, and content creators. Specifically it is hoped that this Directory will: • Introduce all readers to the emerging field of library and help articulate its unique characteristics as a distinctive publishing field. • Facilitate collaboration among library publishers and other entities, especially the university presses and learned societies that share their values. • Alert authors of scholarly content to a range of potential partners dedicated to supporting their experimentation with new forms of scholarly communication and open access business models. The Directory is also available Open Access in several electronic formats through www.librarypublishing.org.
