Learning Objectives
learn about the opportunities of becoming involved in providing publishing services from within the library, get practical tips on growing existing programs from librarians active in this space, and receive some honest assessments of the challenges institutions involved in this area of new entrepreneurship have faced and how they have overcome them.
Abstract
This session reports on the year-long research project surveying the state of "library publishing services" in 2011 and provides case studies of different strategies being adopted -- from collaboration between libraries and existing university presses, through organic single institutional library services, to the creation of multi-institutional consortial publishers.
