Discussions about alternatives to traditional scholarly publishing often focus on technological platforms, workflows, economics, and financial models. Within the library community at least, the technology (and the appropriate gemstone or precious metal analogy) often dominates the discourse. This omits a critical piece of the puzzle: the content creators. The proposed project briefing re-centers researchers and readers in the scholarly publishing ecosystem and demonstrates how inter- and intra-institutional collaborations can break down silos, amplify voices, and maximize impact even in smaller scale ventures. The audience will hear directly from an early career scholar, a senior scholar, a university librarian, a digital content specialist, and a press director, and their combined efforts to bring to fruition the forthcoming Virtual Martin Luther King, Jr. multimodal monograph.
