All, I have been assessing LIS publishing for our scope and inclusion in highly valued publishing outlets outside of the LIS literature. The most published author of monographs about librarianship by university presses is Dr. Wayne A. Wiegand who has published at seven University Presses.
Johns Hopkins University Press.
Louisiana State University Press.
Oxford University Press.
University of Iowa Press.
University of Massachusetts Press.
University Press of Mississippi.
University of Oklahoma Press.

A university press is an academic publishing house, often associated with a major university, that specializes in publishing scholarly and intellectual works, including books and journals, after a rigorous peer-review process. Unlike commercial publishers, their mission is to advance knowledge and support academic discourse, and they are typically non-profit, though they also publish books for the general public and regional interest.
