The Library and Information Science (LIS) Publications Wiki gathers information about publications that LIS professionals might want to write for -- whether they want to reach their colleagues or their communities. All editors, publishers, and LIS professionals are welcome to make use of this resource. The wiki is being built and maintained by graduate students at the San Jose State University School of Information. An earlier version of this presentation was presented at the San Jose State University School of Information Science Faculty Institute in May 2010.
