Andrew James is Director of Content & Publishing at Facet Publishing. (Andrew.James@

As we are looking ahead to the New Year, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on 2025. T
HIS year was particularly exciting for Facet as we published over 15 titles covering a wide range of topics, such as Artificial
Intelligence, dirty data and of course, Dungeons and Dragons. Our books equip readers with an in-depth understanding of library and information science, empowering them with new skills and fresh insights that support their professional development. In 2026, we’ll continue to publish leading voices and resources that bring forward change in our sector. We are particularly excited for our upcoming titles The Information Literacy Handbook (Feb 2026), Feminist Librarianship (March 2026) and Public Libraries and Homelessness (April 2026).
