*Library Publishing Coalition to Expand Membership Internationally*

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 1, 2015 — The Library Publishing Coalition, a community-led membership
association for library publishers, will expand membership to libraries
outside North America, effective July 1, 2015.

The LPC supports an evolving, distributed range of publishing practices and
furthers the interests of library publishers. It promotes collaboration,
knowledge ­sharing, and networking among libraries and between libraries
and other publishers, especially university presses.

“Expanding our membership ensures that our members are connecting to an
international community of peers and to global conversations about the role
of libraries in publishing, digital scholarship, and Open Access.” says the
LPC’s President, Kevin Hawkins (University of North Texas).

The LPC connects libraries with diverse profiles, interests, and areas of
expertise, from small liberal arts colleges to large research universities.
Members receive access to our members-only mailing list, webinars, and a
library of model documentation. They also benefit from special registration
rates for LPC events, voting rights in the organization, and the
opportunity for their staff to serve on committees, task forces, and the
LPC’s board.

Academic and research libraries and library consortia anywhere in the world
are invited to complete a membership application at
http://www.librarypublishing.org/join/membership-application.

The LPC operates as an affiliated community of the Educopia Institute, a
non­profit organization that advances cultural, scientific, and scholarly
institutions by catalyzing networks and collaborative communities to
facilitate collective impact. Learn more about LPC and its growing network
of libraries at www.librarypublishing.org.
