Call for Proposals: 2025 Library Publishing Forum

"The Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) is now accepting proposals for the 2025 Virtual Library Publishing Forum, to be held May 5–8, 2025! (Times TBD) Proposal submissions are welcome from LPC members and nonmembers, including library employees, university press employees, scholars, students, and other scholarly communication and publishing professionals. We welcome proposals from first-time presenters and representatives of small and emerging publishing programs. Proposals may address any topic of interest to the library publishing community. Please view the Call for Proposals for detailed information about the Forum and the different formats of proposed sessions. We are committed to expanding the diversity of perspectives we hear from at the Library Publishing Forum. Working towards some of the “Continuing Initiatives” from the LPC Roadmap for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility, we ask all proposals to explicitly address how they are inclusive of multiple perspectives, address DEIA, or incorporate anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches. Presentations about specific communities should include members of that community in their speaker list, and for sessions with multiple speakers, we seek to avoid all-white and all-male panels. The submission deadline is January 6, 2025."
