From: Adrian Ho <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:02:41 -0400 Sending a message on behalf of the Library Publication Coalition. Apologies for cross-posting. October 22, 2014 The Library Publishing Coalition is pleased to announce publication of the 2015 Library Publishing Directory, which highlights the publishing activities of 124 college and university libraries. Published just in time for Open Access Week, the Directory illustrates the many ways in which libraries are actively transforming and advancing scholarly communications in partnership with scholars, students, university presses, and others. 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. PDF and EPUB versions are openly available online at: http://www.librarypublishing.org/resources/directory/lpd2015. Print copies will be available for purchase through Amazon. Publication is overseen by the LPC's Directory Committee: Holly Mercer (chair), University of Tennessee Jane Morris, Boston College Elizabeth Smart, Brigham Young University Stephanie Davis-Kahl, Illinois Wesleyan University Beth Turtle, Kansas State University Shan Sutton, Oregon State University Linda Friend, Penn State University Katherine Purple, Purdue University Adrian Ho, University of Kentucky Ann Lally, University of Washington Sarah Lippincott, Library Publishing Coalition Joshua Neds-Fox, Wayne State University The Directory is made possible by the generous donation of services from Purdue University Libraries (design, copyediting, and publishing coordination); Lightning Source (printing); and The Charlesworth Group (XML conversion).
