Library Publishing Curriculum : Virtual Workshop: Sustainability Module

Registration Open

The Library Publishing Coalition and the Educopia Institute are excited to host a series of virtual pilot workshops based on the IMLS-funded Developing a Curriculum to Advance Library-Based Publishing project. Our first virtual workshop - Library Publishing Curriculum: Sustainability - will begin on July 9, 2018 and will last four weeks, ending on July 30. The workshop is limited to 30 participants, and registration is first come, first served. There is no registration fee. 

Description

This workshop is based on the Sustainability module of the Library Publishing Curriculum released in May of 2018. (Learn more about the release!) The Sustainability Module focuses on how library publishing endeavors can establish longevity and find long-term success. Attendees will learn how to build support with key stakeholders and communities, both internally (library staff) and externally (e.g., University Press), and how to undertake digital preservation to prolong the lifespan of digital publications.
