Educopia Institute

Educopia Institute and the Library Publishing Coalition will design and implement a competency-based curriculum for library publishing that includes synchronous and asynchronous professional development opportunities for librarians. Library publishing is a new field that has emerged to address demands for publishing platforms and services that support the production and dissemination of scholarship, including websites, e-journals, textbooks, and other open education resources, conference proceedings, digital humanities projects, theses, monographs, and other work. The project team will train 60 librarians; help 10 libraries launch or enhance publishing services; integrate materials into at least one graduate course in library and information science; and develop curriculum featuring instructional videos, readings, process maps, case studies, tips, and model documents to help guide librarians through the publishing process.
