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.

The Library Publishing Coalition, the Library Publishing Curriculum Editorial Board, and the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) are thrilled to announce the addition of the new Library Publishing Curriculum’s Introduction Module to the PKP School’s Getting Started in Library Publishing series. 

PKP’s new course is based on the Curriculum’s Introduction Module, which includes history, theory, and trends around library publishing as an introduction to the field. PKP writes: “The introduction provides a clear, entry-level overview of the basics, covering the essentials of who, what, when, where, and why in library publishing. It’s designed to give newcomers a solid foundation before diving into the more detailed aspects of the field. The Introduction Module was added to the Library Publishing Curriculum in 2024 and was adapted for PKP School in August of this year.”

The new module, alongside the rest of the Curriculum, is also available as a PDF from WSU’s institutional repository

PKP School is a collection of online, self-paced courses designed to enhance scholarly publishing practices globally. The courses cover a range of topics, and are available in English and Spanish.   

More details can be found in PKP’s announcement about the new course.
