LPC Blog

The Library Publishing Coalition Blog is used to share news and updates about the LPC and the Library Publishing Forum, to draw attention to items of interest to the community, and to publish informal commentaries by LPC members and friends.

Please join us in welcoming the University of Kansas as a new member of the Library Publishing Coalition. The voting rep for KU Libraries is Marianne Reed.

About the University of Kansas Libraries:

The University of Kansas Libraries transform lives by inspiring the discovery and creation of knowledge for the university and our global community. KU Libraries are leaders in the global Open Access movement and exhibit a long-standing commitment to advocating for low- and no- cost open educational resources for students at KU and beyond.

Digital Publishing Services, an initiative of KU Libraries, provides publishing services that increase the impact and visibility of the high-quality research of KU faculty, staff and students. Our online open access publishing model follows best practices and standards that are designed to increase the reach and impact of the research, as well as providing long-term stewardship of the material after publication.

We help KU faculty, staff and students turn their scholarship into high-quality open access publications and publish them online in a variety of formats:

  • Journals
  • Books
  • Conference proceedings
  • White papers
  • Departmental research publications

By the end of 2022, Digital Publishing Services will support more than 50 journals through the Journals@KU initiative.
