Conclusion:The study revealed the already observed fact that university libraries are not only administrators, but also content producers. In most cases, they have mentioned to be publishing scholarly peer-reviewed out-puts. Chronologically, the �rst step was usually setting up repositories and archiving university outputs followed by providing publishing support to authors, all the way to providing further publishing servi-ces, such as graphical design, typesetting, printing and publishing.
University libraries publish especially scholarly journals and tend to support less commercial disciplines in social sciences and humanities, e.g. library science, sociology, religious studies, philosophy, and lingui-stics. Further outputs include course materials and monographs, uni-versity papers, bulletins and brochures as well as materials aimed at promoting research activities and individual university departments.Journals, theses and dissertations tend to be published electronically, other materials, incl. special publications, are more often published in print. Besides publishing activities, the libraries often administer pub-lishing standards for their university, such as DOI, ORCID, etc., and pro-vide publication platform for open access publishing.
The libraries mostly refer to have taken publishing activities over from the publishing house, to closely cooperate with the publishing house, and to be providing new activities and competencies in digital pub-lishing. All these examples show that library users as well as authors highly bene�t from this cooperation, which in the �nal consequence enhances the university performance and reputation.

The development of publishing activities by university libraries is a new competencethat libraries successfully ful�ll based on their knowledge, skills and experience.Our university recently opened an opportu-nity for the cooperation of the library and the publishing house. Literature review and a study was condu-cted to identify such practices at European universities. The study consisted of a con-tent analysis of websites followed by e-mail communication. It was conducted in cooperation with stu-dents at the Institute of Information Studies and Librarianship at the Charles University in Prague.
