The George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida engage in library publishing as a collaborative endeavor. The Libraries publish scholarly journals, open access monographs and textbooks, and creative works, with an emphasis on promoting public access to scholarship and ethical practices in scholarly publishing. The Libraries’ publishing initiatives complement the work of the University of Florida Press (UF Press) to collectively contribute to the shared missions of the Libraries, Press, and UF. The Smathers Libraries is an active member of organizations such as the Library Publishing Coalition and the Directory of Open Access Journals, offering numerous opportunities to engage with peers across the field.
