Today's spotlight is Emerald, a silver sponsor of our conference and a well-known publisher in our community for its library science journals.

For over 50 years Emerald Publishing’s core purpose has been to champion fresh thinkers and help them make a difference so that little by little those in academia or in practice can unite to bring positive change in the real world.

Emerald provides a range of publishing services to help researchers tell their stories in a meaningful and timely way. As a proud signatory of DORA, Emerald has relaunched its Real Impact Manifesto asking the sector to work together towards a fairer, more equitable environment where research can have a real-world impact and those within it can reach their full potential.

Emerald is a founding signatory of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals  (UN SDGs) Publishers Compact which is designed to inspire action among publishers and accelerate progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
