Canadian Library Journal Publishing: A Primer

This primer, produced by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) in 2024, on library publishing in Canada. It has a focus on journal publishing. As well as providing a brief summary of the support available to journals at CARL libraries, it also summarises some of the core principles of library journal publishing more widely to do with commerciality and fees, diversity, and discovery/preservation. 

CARL have also produced further reports, some of which are region-specific, such as copyright for Crown-published works, and on OER policy and infrastructure. A full list of their outputs is here: https://www.carl-abrc.ca/publications-and-documents/
