Subject: [lpc-l] 2022 Library Publishing Forum Call For Proposals now open!

The Library Publishing Forum<https://librarypublishing.org/forum/> is an annual
conference bringing together representatives from libraries engaged in or considering
publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and challenges; to identify
and document collaborative opportunities; and to strengthen and promote this community of
practice. The Forum is sponsored by the Library Publishing Coalition, but you do not need
to be a member of the LPC to attend.

The Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) is now accepting proposals for the 2022 Library
Publishing Forum! After the success of our Virtual Forums in 2020 and 2021, we are
thrilled to offer both in-person and online options this year, with a virtual
preconference the week of May 16, 2022, followed by the in-person Library Publishing Forum
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania May 25–26, 2022.  We invite proposals for both of these
events, and warmly encourage 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. The proposal deadline is November 15, 2021.

Proposal submissions for both the virtual preconference and the in-person Forum 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.

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 Anti-Racist
Practice<https://librarypublishing.org/roadmap-for-anti-racist-practice/…, this year
we ask all proposals to explicitly address how they are inclusive of multiple
perspectives, address DEI, or incorporate anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches. We
also encourage speakers to provide us with information about themselves that will assist
us in identifying proposals that balance geography, identity, and representation,
especially from marginalized groups. 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. Everyone submitting a
presentation will also have an opportunity to complete a brief, anonymous demographic
survey so we can better understand who is submitting proposals to LPF.

Learn more and submit a proposal<https://librarypublishing.org/program/>.
