Join us on Tuesday, October 29th at 1:00PM Eastern Time for a free webinar designed to introduce library publishing as a career track for new professionals from underrepresented groups. This hour-long webinar is presented by the Educopia Institute as part of the IMLS-funded Library Publishing Curriculum project.

Like most specialized subfields of academic librarianship, access to library publishing as a career often happens through informal exposure and networking with experienced professionals. This pathway is often less accessible to librarians from underrepresented groups and those working at smaller or less well-resourced institutions. One of the goals of the Library Publishing Curriculum is to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion principles into the everyday work of library publishing, and this webinar is meant to provide an on-ramp into the profession for interested library professionals and students - especially those from groups traditionally underrepresented in academic librarianship. In it, we will present an overview of library publishing, explore common roles and job functions in this burgeoning field of librarianship, and provide advice on how to build your skills and network to pursue a library publishing career.

To register, please fill out this form. Call-in information will be sent out to registrants by Friday, October 25th. Email melanie@educopia.org with questions. The webinar will be recorded and the recording will be made available on the Library Publishing Coalition website.
