The Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) Announces Publication of the 2024 Library Publishing Directory
From a Library Publication Coalition (LPC) Post:
The Library Publishing Coalition is pleased to announce the publication of the 2024 Library Publishing Directory! This year’s print, PDF, EPUB, online versions and dataset of the Library Publishing Directory highlight the publishing activities of 167 library publishers across the globe.
The Directory illustrates the many ways in which libraries are actively transforming and advancing scholarly communications in partnership with scholars, students, university presses, and others. Each year, the Directory‘s introduction presents a ‘state of the field’ based on that year’s data, which we also publish in a related blog posting.
We are also excited to announce the Library Publishing Directory research data set has been updated and now includes data through the current directory, 2024, thanks to the hard work of the Research Committee. This resource is composed of the data in csv format and includes the original survey instrument and data dictionary for each year. The directory data can be accessed at the Directory’s main page.
The 2024 Directory also reflects an ongoing partnership with the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) Library Publishing Special Interest Group (LibPub SIG), and includes international entries, translated by IFLA LibPub SIG members. Libraries who chose to complete the full survey appear in the print, PDF, and EPUB versions of the Directory. All entries appear in the online version. IFLA’s Global Library Publishing Map is a first-of-its-kind online database of global library publishing initiatives.
