    Terps Publish: A Student Publication Fair
    (2017) Dohe, Kate
    Student-run publications are valuable to the campus and scholarly record, serving as an academic playground for emergent forms of publishing and media. However, student publications face many of the same sustainability problems affecting the broader publishing industry as well as unique problems inherent in student publications, such as routine turnover, unreliable or shifting income sources, and few networks to share knowledge. The inaugural Terps Publish, modeled on Hoyas Publish at Georgetown University, provides student publishers with a discussion venue to connect with peers and library resources for publishing, and a fair on April 11th to promote and celebrate student publishing activities. This poster will share outcomes from the student round table, discussion points, and opportunities for the Libraries to support student publications.
