Abstract
The Policy Module covers how library publishers develop policies that guide specific areas of their work. Policy is an area where publishing programs interface with the legal and political environment, which has seen dramatic changes since the original Policy Module was written, and these units provide the up-to-date guidance that library publishers need. The units in the updated Policy Module are:
- Accessibility by Alexandra Marcaccio
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by Talea Anderson
- Preservation by Corinne Guimont
- Publishing Ethics by Esther Jackson & Michelle Wilson
- Rights & Rights Management by Perry Collins
