Library Publishing Toolkit


Book Description

Both public and academic libraries are invested in the creation and distribution of information and digital content.

The Library Publishing Toolkit looks at the broad and varied landscape of library publishing through discussions, case studies, and shared resources. From supporting writers and authors in the public library setting to hosting open access journals and books, this collection examines opportunities for libraries to leverage their position and resources to create and provide access to content.
