In 2004, Van Cleve published her first book, Oboe Unbound: Contemporary Techniques.[3] Composer Anthony Braxton said of the book: "The release of this book will extend the evolution and exploratory dimensions of creative oboe music. It is a must-have for any serious student of oboe music." In 2014, a revised edition was released. Prominent oboist Allan Vogel commented, "Oboe Unbound is inspiring comprehensive, and easy to learn from...I recommend it highly."[7] As a more recent project, Van Cleve has released the first three Bach Cello Suites, edited for oboe, through The Music Source, T.D. Ellis Music Publishing.[8]

Van Cleve began her work at the Oral History of American Music as assistant to the director in 1993 and in 2000, became associate director.[1] In 2004, Van Cleve spearheaded efforts which resulted in a $148,000 grant toward preserving OHAM's recordings from the Save America's Treasures initiative.[9] Her second book was published in 2005, Composers' Voices From Ives to Ellington, co-written with Vivian Perlis.[10] In 2006, the two co-authors received ASCAP's Deems Taylor Special Recognition Award for their work.[11] In 2010, Libby Van Cleve succeeded Vivian Perlis as Director of the Oral History of American Music project.[1]
