What's the Buzz on Library Publishing? Developing a Consortial Support Model for Open Access Publishing

Library publishing programs, on the rise in the last decade, help libraries more actively participate in the scholarly communications cycle, advance open access, and meet local needs related to the creation and dissemination of scholarship. Buzz and excitement surrounds this topic as part of a growing notion that publishing is an innovative function critical for the libraries of the future.

PALNI’s Library Publishing Task Force recently wrapped up its exploration of this emerging consortial service area, and in this webinar Amanda Hurford, Olivia MacIsaac, and Sue Wiegand discussed our findings and recommendations, including the creation of an Admin Team for library publishing services across PALNI.
