Scholarly Communications Guide for Faculty, Staff: About

Hello LaGuardia faculty,

While the Library is working to support your students, don’t forget that we’re here for you as well.

Faculty and staff can email us or make an appointment to talk if you have particular questions related to scholarly publishing. You might want to know what a Creative Commons license is, whether a journal you’ve found is one of those “predatory journals,” or how to find a journal to publish in to begin with. If we don't know the answer, we'll help you find someone who does. Or you can join our Slack channel at scholpubteahouse.slack.com for group discussion of scholarly publishing questions and issues (email us to request an invitation to join). Browse our past posts and discussion to see if there’s some helpful information there for you. You can also direct message a librarian in Slack with your questions.

To keep up to date on any event offerings, check the Scholarly Publishing Teahouse schedule below. We also link to the schedule and have office hours information on the Faculty section of the Library’s Help from Home guide.

We look forward to helping you move forward with your scholarly publication efforts.

Stay healthy and happy publishing,

The LaGuardia Scholarly Publishing Teahouse Librarians

From the ACRL Scholarly Communications toolkit:

Scholarly communication is the system through which research and other scholarly writings are

• created
• evaluated for quality
• disseminated to the scholarly community
• preserved for future use.
