The General Library System publishes print and digital works featuring new works of scholars, researchers, and poets, and important scholarly and historical materials that are available for study in both print and digital formats. These publications are the result of collaborations with the scholarly community and represent an ongoing commitment by the Libraries to scholarly communication as a contribution to the Wisconsin Idea and in support of the outreach mission of the university.
