Check out @IFLA's Global Library Publishing Map which captures the rapid growth of library publishing programs globally. The majority of library publishing programs favour Diamond OA publishing (free to publish and free to read). See: https://t.co/uozhKejhkR

You do not absolutely need a “System” to manage your publishing, but you do need to be systematic. If you are not, then employ those who are, and support what they do. Do not be Mr “It's-all-in-my-head”!

One of the biggest hurdles in the publishing process is the handover from editorial to production. Make life easier for both departments by maintaining one version of the truth. If you don’t have a dedicated in-house workflow system, at least use the same spreadsheet!

[CRKN RCDR (inactive as of December 2024) @CRKN_RCDR]

31 library publishing programs responding to a survey had an average age of 12, according to Emma Uhl @pkp. The vast majority of library publishing programs are funded by library operating budgets & the average personnel is less than one FTE (0.8)! #crkn22rcdr
