Check out @IFLA's Global Library Publishing Map which captures the rapid growth of library publishing programs globally. The majority of library publishing programs favour Diamond OA publishing (free to publish and free to read). See: https://t.co/uozhKejhkR

You do not absolutely need a ā€œSystemā€ to manage your publishing, but you do need to be systematic. If you are not, then employ those who are, and support what they do. Do not be Mr ā€œIt's-all-in-my-headā€!

When creating #OER, you don’t have to start from scratch! CC licenses allow you to adopt and adapt content to suit your needs. Pressbooks makes it easy by enabling you to duplicate openly licensed books. Browse the Directory for OER to make your own: https://t.co/12NxvVwgGh

One of the biggest hurdles in the publishing process is the handover from editorial to production. Make life easier for both departments by maintaining one version of the truth. If you don’t have a dedicated in-house workflow system, at least use the same spreadsheet!

31 library publishing programs responding to a survey had an average age of 12, according to Emma Uhl @pkp. The vast majority of library publishing programs are funded by library operating budgets & the average personnel is less than one FTE (0.8)! #crkn22rcdr

Having folks review your OER helps ensure your content is accurate, inclusive, & accessible. It’s a great way to bolster potential adopters’ confidence in the quality of your OER. Read @RebusCommunity’s section on feedback & review to strengthen your OER: https://t.co/8ebtVuNKkQ
