Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Librarians are looking for ways to evaluate publishers in order to make more informed collection investment decisions. A rubric that evaluates journal publishers\u2019 practices for alignment with library values has been developed as part of the Library Partnership Rating<\/a> (LPR). The LPR Rubric for journal publishers does not look at license agreements but at publicly available data on publisher practices. Interest in a similar rubric for book publishers has been expressed by multiple individuals and groups. This FORCE11 working group will engage in conversations with a variety of stakeholders to identify criteria and data sources that may make up a similar but distinct rubric to evaluate book publishers \u2014 similar in that the rubric will not evaluate institutional license agreements but will collect publicly available data on book publishers\u2019 practices, and distinct in that the rubric will include criteria most relevant to the monograph and book ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goals & deliverables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anticipated outcomes for this working group include creation of a draft or pilot rubric that evaluates book publishers for alignment with library values, and solicitation of feedback on that rubric from various stakeholder groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
