Library Publishing Coalition and AAUP Announce 2016 Cross-Pollination Grants

The Association of American University Presses (AAUP) and the Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) are proud to announce the winners of the 2016 Cross-Pollination Travel Grants. These grants make it possible for an AAUP and an LPC member to attend the opposite organization’s annual conference for the first time.

  • Marinanicole Miller, Editorial Assistant, Temple University Press, will attend the 2016 Library Publishing Forum.
  • Isaac Gilman, Library Director, Pacific University, will attend the 2016 AAUP Annual Meeting.

The AAUP-LPC Cross-Pollination Grants were launched this year to help foster greater professional interchange between library publishing programs and university presses. Intended not merely as an individual professional development program, both LPC and AAUP see this as an opportunity to develop shared knowledge throughout the community, and to encourage future collaboration between both the organizations and their members.

Library Publishing Forum 2016 will be held at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX, May 17-19. Learn more: http://www.librarypublishing.org/events/lpforum16
