| Summary: | This is a translation from Swedish of a blog post by Mikael Böök on ‘The Library as Publisher’. Mikael is among other things involved in LibPub, IFLA’s special group in the field. The group places its main emphasis on publishing of academic texts by Higher Education and research libraries, even though they also visit public libraries. Mikael comments below on a recent webinar under the auspices of this special group, but asks why does not IFLA’s own extensive advocacy, especially with regard to the UN’s sustainability goals count as publication? Also, why don’t librarians publish their support for the UN agreement on a ban on nuclear weapons? |
