Litwin Books

Litwin Books, LLC is an academic publisher founded in 2006 under the name Library Juice Press. Library Juice Press became an imprint of the new parent company, Litwin Books, LLC in 2008. The Litwin Books imprint publishes books on archival studies topics, library history, communication studies, and related fields. The Library Juice Press imprint publishes books on library and information science topics, usually with an emphasis on critical theory or political aspects of the field. The company has its origins in an email news and comment distribution service called Library Juice, founded by Rory Litwin in 1998. In 2005, the Library Juice news service became a blog, which now supports the company's publishing projects and other activities. In an interview with Barbara Fister for ''Inside Higher Education'' Litwin, interested in the continuity of the knowledge base of librarianship, described the publisher's role as initiating projects and working collaboratively with authors. In 2016, Library Juice Press was awarded the Eli M. Oboler Memorial Award by the Intellectual Freedom Round Table of the American Library Association for its publication, ''The Library Juice Press Handbook of Intellectual Freedom: Cases, Concepts, and Theories''.
