Good afternoon!The Library Publishing Forum
<https://librarypublishing.org/forum/> is an annual conference bringing
together representatives from libraries engaged in or considering
publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and
challenges; to identify and document collaborative opportunities; and to
strengthen and promote this community of practice. The Forum is sponsored
by the Library Publishing Coalition, but you do not need to be a member of
the LPC to attend.
The Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) is now accepting proposals
<https://goo.gl/forms/jpvJ32KbuuecvBqp1> for the 2025 Virtual Library
Publishing Forum being held from May 5-8, 2025. Proposals may address any
topic of interest to the library publishing community. The proposal
deadline is January 6, 2025.
Proposal submissions are welcome from LPC members and nonmembers, including
library employees, university press employees, scholars, students, and
other scholarly communication and publishing professionals. Again, we
welcome proposals from first-time presenters and representatives of small
and emerging publishing programs.
We are committed to expanding the diversity of perspectives we hear from at
the Library Publishing Forum. Working towards some of the “Continuing
Initiatives” from the LPC Roadmap for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and
Accessibility
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jgE7c4wS4D72DgtakhZ-IK8whO3hN_jQ/view?usp=…>,
we ask all proposals to explicitly address how they are inclusive of
multiple perspectives, address DEIA, or incorporate anti-racist and
anti-oppressive approaches. Presentations about specific communities should
include members of that community in their speaker list, and for sessions
with multiple speakers, we seek to avoid all-white and all-male panels.
Learn more and submit a proposal <https://librarypublishing.org/program/>.
