Further details are forthcoming and a call for proposals will be issued in early November 2015. The conference is being held in conjunction with the 2016 UNT Open Access Symposium (May 20 - 21, 2016) (http://openaccess.unt.edu/symposium/2016). About the Conference The Library Publishing Forum brings together representatives from libraries engaged in (or considering) publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and challenges; to identify and document collaborative opportunities; to strengthen and promote this community of practice; and to advance this vibrant subfield of academic publishing. We welcome participants from a broad, international spectrum of academic libraries, as well as groups that collaborate with libraries to publish scholarly works including the digital humanities. You do not need to be a member of the LPC to attend. The Library Publishing Forum is organized by the LPC’s Program Committee: William Kane, Wake Forest University David Scherer, Purdue University Catherine Mitchell, California Digital Library Scott Walter, DePaul University Somaly Kim-Wu, UNC-Charlotte Vanessa Gabler, University of Pittsburgh Melanie Schlosser, Ohio State University Sarah Lippincott, LPC (ex officio) About Denton and the University of North Texas Denton is the home of the University of North Texas, the most comprehensive university the Dallas-Forth Worth area, and Texas Woman’s University.
