Summary/Abstract: The mission of the university is to promote educational and pedagogical actions. With growing globalization and creation at the knowledge society the tasks of the university change but the main task is the same: organize publishing of works produced by lecturers, scientists and spread them. The paper deals with publication of literature on management by Lithuania‘s University publishing houses in 2003–2006. It is stressed that university administrations focus of publication of literature on management. The proportion of the numbers of students at every university and publicshed books on management has been set. An interdisciplinary aspect is presented in this paper: university publications on management are analysed in the context of knowledge management and the knowledge society. Analysis has showed that middle and small university publishing houses pay more and more attention to publishing literature on management. Literature on management dominates in middle and small but not in big university publishing houses. The tendency is that the total amount of books published at universities has been decreasing but literature on management has been growing because the need of such books by readers has been growing every year. University publishing houses usually publish books which are used in studies and necessary for students, so the amount of such books depends on these indicators. However, the need for literature on economics, finance, marketing and others has been growing most significantly. Universities with a stable number of students can publish the same number of literature on management as those with a growing number of students. Every year those universities can suply more and more books on management.
