The
Library Publishing Coalition and the
Educopia Institute, in collaboration with the
Digital Library Federation (DLF), are excited to host an in-person workshop at the 2018 DLF Forum based on the IMLS-funded
Developing a Curriculum to Advance Library-Based Publishing project. The full-day workshop will take place on Sunday, October 14 (the day before the Forum) at the M Resort just outside of Las Vegas, NV. The workshop is limited to 20 participants, to be selected through a brief application process. While the workshop is affiliated with and will complement the DLF Forum, please note that you do not have to attend the Forum to participate in the workshop. Keep reading for the workshop description.
The
Content Module covers how library publishers attract, select, edit, manage, and disseminate content. It includes information about how to recruit partners and select content for a program, and how to incorporate diverse voices into each part of the publication process. It also shares information about common production workflows, identifying the resources and staff skills needed to support various editorial strategies and content types.
To apply to participate in this workshop, please fill out the
application form by August 24, 2018.
Additionally, we are delighted to be able to offer three scholarships for workshop attendees, aimed at ensuring a diverse group of participants. Each scholarship consists of up to $1,000 in reimbursement against allowable travel expenses incurred for workshop attendance (determined according to U.S. federal guidelines, as this is funded through a federal grant). Attendees can apply for a scholarship as part of the application form, above.
