The Future of the Library Publishing Directory: Looking Backward and Forward

This presentation was delivered as an active session at the 2025 Library Publishing Forum.Current members of the Library Publishing Directory Committee will engage with the community to discuss the path the Directory has taken and possible directions for the future. We will present findings from the 2024 Directory survey analysis, including highlights from the retrospective data analysis of all 11 years of Directory data. We will focus on how the Directory has expanded over the past decade, the growing role open access and open source platforms have played in library publishing, and other trends within the library publishing space. We will also discuss planned changes to the 2026 Directory survey, from question and section changes, to the important transition to conducting the survey every other year rather than annually. We will then engage participants through collective brainstorming and annotation to provide feedback on survey design and the survey-taking experience, such as the process of filling out the survey, how organizations manage which staff members respond to the survey, question topics and response options that may be missing, and survey accessibility. Participants will be able to contribute feedback and ideas through several means, including open discussion, annotation of the current survey document, and written brainstorming. Participants’ insights will be used to improve the redesign of the Library Publishing Directory survey to more accurately reflect library publishers’ experiences and priorities in the Directory

SILENT STRATEGIES: INNER SPEECH AND PROBLEM SOLVING IN APHASIA

Thesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences and the Program in Neuroscience, 2025Inner speech, the experience of “talking to yourself in your head”, plays a crucial role in cognition, communication, and self-regulation. While inner speech has been studied for nearly two centuries, its significance in clinical populations, particularly individuals with aphasia, is an emerging area of research. This dissertation explores the multifaceted nature of inner speech in both healthy aging and aphasia, examining its role in language processing, problem-solving, and psychosocial health through interdisciplinary methods. Aphasia, a language disorder most often caused by stroke, affects over two million people in the U.S., disrupting various aspects of language production and comprehension. Some individuals with aphasia report experiencing disruptions in their inner speech. This research employs multiple methodologies, including inner rhyme judgments, articulatory suppression, rating scales, questionnaires, and experience sampling, to assess inner speech at the word level, in daily life, during problem-solving tasks, and in relation to psychosocial well-being. Findings reveal that while many individuals with aphasia continue to use inner speech frequently, their inner speech is less varied in content and function compared to their neurologically healthy counterparts. In daily life, people with aphasia most often use inner speech to make decisions about food, plan activities, solve problems, and self-motivate. Experimentally, disrupting inner speech hinders improvement on complex reasoning tasks, underscoring its role in cognitive processing. Objective measures, such as inner rhyme judgment, are associated with aphasia severity and cognitive abilities like inhibition, reasoning, and problem solving, whereas subjective reports of inner speech are not. Additionally, inner speech use is linked to psychosocial health, with certain patterns, such as replaying past conversations, being associated with lower quality of life in individuals with aphasia. Overall, this dissertation provides a comprehensive perspective on inner speech, demonstrating its significance beyond language production. By integrating insights from psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and speech-language pathology, it advances our understanding of inner speech as a critical component of cognition, communication, and well-being
