Abstract
In 2018, The Educopia Institute and the Library Publishing Coalition (LPC), in partnership with the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), NASIG, and BlueSky to BluePrint, released the first iteration of the “Library Publishing Curriculum,” a suite of synchronous and asynchronous professional development offerings for librarians. The four initial modules—Content, Impact, Policy, and Sustainability—were funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Sciences and address major competencies in library publishing. As part of the sustainability plan for these grant deliverables, the LPC created an editorial board that would steer future iterations of the curriculum. They took as their first task a step back from the existing modules to provide an introduction that would frame the rest of the curriculum for complete newbies to library publishing. This Introduction Module offers an entry-level approach that explains the very fundamentals of library publishing that the discipline has inhabited over the last decade—explaining much of the implicit work of who, what, when, where, and why of library publishing.
