The Library Publishing Coalition is pleased to announce that the third
annual Library Publishing Forum will take place May 17 - 19, 2016 at the
University of North Texas Libraries in Denton.

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.
Located a short distance from the Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport
and Dallas Love Field and at the heart of the North Texas horse country,
the town boasts a lively music and arts scene. We hope you’ll discover
Denton <http://www.discoverdenton.com/> during your visit.

UNT is one of the founding members of the LPC and the first public
university in Texas to implement a campus open-access policy. The Libraries
are home to digital-library collections including over 10 million
items—many in the Portal to Texas History <http://texashistory.unt.edu/>—and
the first non-federal library to participate in the Federal Information
Preservation Network (FIPNet)
