<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black">A new role that libraries are playing with increasing success is
in the dissemination of original scholarly and literary materials. Both public and academic libraries are
becoming publishers for their communities. Over the last few years, the number of
libraries with a commitment to publishing has grown substantially, with both
academic and public libraries finding a strong demand for their services.

active publishing programs, most in North America but an increasing number in
other continents. A global community of
library publishers is forming, and this meeting provides the ideal opportunity
to meet with colleagues from around the world to identify common themes,
brainstorm about shared challenges, and identify future opportunities for
information exchange and collaboration.</span></p>

“Understanding the Vision,” “Implementing the Vision,” and “Sustaining and
Growing the Vision.” We envision programming in a variety of formats, including
short case studies. </span></p>
