The SIG is led by Rebecca Wojturska – who runs a library-based hosting service at the University of Edinburgh and has an extensive background in academic publishing – and Cath Dishman – who runs a library-based hosting service at Liverpool John Moore’s University and has an extensive background in academic librarianship. The group is primarily geared towards library publishers, those who are interested in learning about library publishing activities with an aim of launching their own initiative, as well as service providers interested in discussing the future of collaboration with library publishers.
