Call for Posters: Library Publishing Forum (March 5-6, Kansas City, MO)
The 2014 Library Publishing Forum (March 5-6 in Kansas City) is seeking proposals for posters that showcase alignment activities in the library publishing community.
The Library Publishing Forum is hosted by the Library Publishing Coalition, an organization with 60-member libraries that promotes the development of innovative, sustainable publishing services in academic and research libraries to support scholars as they create, advance, and disseminate knowledge.
This event will bring together representatives from libraries and their collaborative partners 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.
The Program Subcommittee is requesting proposals for posters that showcase how libraries, presses, and other participants in the scholarly communications sector are aligning their publishing activities with the goals, needs, and practices of their stakeholders and peers.
