[IP-OA_Forum] Announcing OASPA Webinar: Rights Retention for Books and Book Chapters (November 23)

[Bernie Folan <bernie.folan@oaspa.org>]

OASPA's next webinar is entitled Rights Retention for Books and Book Chapters and will take place on Wednesday November 23. Full information can be found at this link.

The webinar which will look at how the focus of rights retention policies tends to be on articles in scholarly journals and ask is there a good reason why we would not consider doing the same for the manuscripts of books or book chapters? 

Do publishers object more to rights retention for these types of publication than for article manuscripts? Would it not be a good idea to make haste with a more general rights retention policy for books and book chapters now that more and more funders demand open access for other publication types than journal articles?

The webinar will be chaired by Sally Rumsey (cOAlition S) and speakers include Lucy Barnes (Open Book Publishers), Per Pippin Aspaas (University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of Norway) and Peter Suber (Harvard University). The panellists will each speak for 8 minutes, and then we will open it up to questions from the audience and discussion.

Please join us live for this free webinar and contribute to the discussion.
