Announcing the publication of the /Library Publishing Toolkit/, a new
and free e-book, great for summer reading!
Interested in library publishing services?
Thinking about publishing a book or journal, or helping authors do so?
The/Library Publishing Toolkit/ looks at the broad and varied landscape
of library publishing through discussions, case studies, and shared
resources. From supporting writers, authors, and filmmakers in the
public library setting to academic libraries hosting open access
journals and books, this collection examines opportunities for libraries
to leverage their skills and resources to curate, create and provide
access to content.
Both public and academic libraries are invested in the creation and
distribution of information and digital content. They have morphed from
keepers of content into content creators and curators, and seek best
practices and efficient workflows with emerging publishing platforms and
services.
The /Library Publishing Toolkit/ is a project funded partially by
Regional Bibliographic Databases and Interlibrary Resources Sharing
Program funds which are administered and supported by the Rochester
Regional Library Council <http://rrlc.org>. The toolkit is a united
effort between Milne Library <http://library.geneseo.edu> at SUNY
Geneseo <http://www.geneseo.edu> and the Monroe County Library System
<http://www3.libraryweb.org/home2.aspx> to identify trends in library
publishing, seek out best practices to implement and support such
programs, and share the best tools and resources.
