Librarianship is an ever-changing field, with new roles being defined every year. This makes it alternately exciting and daunting. Library as Publisher is written for librarians who are exploring the role of librarian publisher. To guide librarians down this path, Sarah Lippincott draws on her experience as the program director for the Library Publishing Coalition. The book is laid out in five short chapters, including an introduction and final thoughts. Although the book is on the scholarly communication topic of libraries as publishers, it is not published by a library. Instead it is part of the open access Charleston Briefings series. The series provides short books on scholarly communication topics for librarians. Lippincott utilizes the short book format to give us a more in-depth overview of the topic than that typically offered by brief journal articles and blog posts. By adding a recommend reading and resources section at the end of each topic, she allows librarians to choose which topics to learn more about, if time permits.
