The Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) and the International Federation of Library Associations‘ Library Publishing Special Interest Group (LibPub SIG) are partnering once again to survey the landscape of publishing in libraries across the globe. We are seeking submissions for the LPC’s 9th annual Library Publishing Directory. In addition, IFLA’s LibPub SIG has created a first-of-its-kind Global Library Publishing Map. Together, we invite you to share information about your library’s publishing activities. Libraries that complete the short form survey will appear in the IFLA Global Library Publishing Map and database. Libraries that wish to be included in the full Library Publishing Directory can go on to fill out the full questionnaire (30-45 minutes to complete).
Get started at: https://librarypublishing.org/lpdq-2022
Submissions are due by Monday, September 13th
About the Library Publishing Directory
The Library Publishing Directory is an important tool for libraries wishing to learn about this emerging field, connect with their peers, and align their practices with those of the broader scholarly publishing community. Last year’s edition featured over 150 libraries in almost a dozen nations.
The Directory is published openly on the web in PDF, EPUB, as an online database of current entries, and as a research data set. It includes contact information, descriptions, and other key facts about each library’s publishing services. A print version of the Directory is also produced. The 2022 edition will be published early next year.
