How the Libraries Help with Publishing

As institutions, libraries enter into licensing agreements with many different publishers for collection purposes. As individuals, many librarians write articles and books and have often been in the position of academic author. Use this toolkit to make informed decisions about scholarly publishing as an author, peer-reviewer, or editor. Contact the Scholarly Communication and Publishing Librarian to set up a consultation.
