2016 Charleston Library Conference

The traditional scholarly presses have developed deep resources and skills that service scholar-authors throughout the process of publication, distribution, communication and the awards cycles. This program looks deeper into the process of publication - and the best practices of the best presses - to better understand this critical aspect of publication in these changing times.
