Library Publishing: How to Launch, Enhance, and Sustain Your Program (ALA)

This volume, put out in 2025 by the American Library Association, provides comprehensive and extensive guidance on how to launch, grow, and sustain library publishing programmes. It does this through detailed case studies and reflections from libraries who have managed this in different ways, and therefore provides a flexible, rather than proscriptive, set of tools and advice. While it has a focus on journals, both scholarly monographs and OERs are included. As it consists of case studies, it does not contain end to end guidance for library publishing workflows, but will certainly provide useful suggestions, caveats and other information for libraries looking to implement, grow, or attain sustainability for their publishing endeavours.
