There is a tremendous amount of activity taking place in this area, both in terms of supporting journals and creating platforms for digital books. The video and slide decks from this meeting are a wonderful look at the state of the art. See https://librarypublishing.org/owned-by-the-academy-preconference/ I was unable to stay on for the main Forum, but materials from that are also available and contain additional material that will certainly be of interest to our community. See https://librarypublishing.org/program/ The LPC Blog also contains a number of postings reflecting on the pre conference and the Forum at https://librarypublishing.org/category/blog/ (Disclosure: CNI is a Strategic Affiliate of the Library Publishing Coalition.)
