2. Three sustainability case studies of publishing programs at Purdue (e-journals), Georgia Tech (conference proceedings), Utah (monographs)
3. Three consultative/community-building workshops at Georgia Tech (May 4-6), Utah (May 11-13) and Purdue (May 18-20, 2011)
4. Bibliographic research.

Recommendations• Promote sustainability best practices to improve the long-
term strength and stability of library publishing programs.• Share service models and revenue approaches to increase
library publishing program funding options and facilitate the efficient implementation of successful programs.
• Develop return-on-investment justifications for funding library publishing programs to support increased library budget allocations in support of such programs.
• Promote collaborations and partnerships to leverage resources within campuses, across institutions, and between university presses, scholarly societies, and other partners.
