Abstract

This essay details the work of the Library History Round Table’s Publication Task Force, whose 2014 report led to the creation of LHRT’s scholarly journal, Libraries: Culture, History, and Society, under the leadership of founding editors Bernadette Lear and Eric Novotny. The chair of the Publication Task Force then highlights lessons for small scholarly societies aiming to establish their own journals, reflecting on issues such as publisher selection, journal ownership, funding, technology, publication frequency, and more.
