    This panel presentation will discuss how a scholarly communication librarian, humanities subject librarian, copyright specialist, and university press acquisitions editor collaborated to address knowledge gaps that graduate students and early career researchers at a large public research institution have about the scholarly publishing landscape. We identified frequently asked questions from our experiences and chose a panel format where each speaker responded to a common scenario posed by a moderator. The webinar was recorded and shared internally on various sites. We plan to replay the recording this spring and be present to host a live Q&A. We also plan to use the structure of the webinar and panel as a blueprint for future events that cover specific topics about scholarly publishing. Overall, we hope to demonstrate how different units can collaborate across the library and institution and inspire others to work together in this way.
