Mark Your Calendar for Next Week's "Libraries, Authors, and Publishing" Online Conference

Submitted by Amigos on Wed, 2014-09-10 12:41

Don't miss our September 18 online conference showcasing how both public and academic libraries work with authors and publishers, and what it means to become publishers themselves.

Keynote speaker Andrew Richard Albanese, an editor at Publishers Weekly, will kick off the conference. He has covered the publishing and information technology fields since 1999, and has written for numerous publications, including Lingua Franca, and Salon.com.

Public and academic libraries will enjoy a variety of informative breakout sessions. Topics include:

  • Open textbooks
  • The library as a for-fee publishing service or as a managing editor
  • Open Journal Systems
  • How libraries can become active in publishing
  • A successful partnership among a public library, high school, and Smashwords
  • Legal issues you should consider as libraries consider publishing services

We look forward to seeing everyone. Don't forget, a benefit of Amigos membership is FREE registration to all of our online conferences.
