The Library Publishing Curriculum has been created in 2018 as part of the “Developing a Curriculum to Advance Library-Based Publishing” project, generously funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

In 2018-2019, we are piloting this open, freely available curriculum in virtual workshops, in person workshops, graduate school classes, and other environments.

Here, we maintain a list of both past and upcoming pilot events. At the end of the project period, the curriculum will continue to be both hosted and taught through the Library Publishing Coalition, an Affiliated Community of Educopia.
