[IP-OA_Forum] Webinar announcement - Working collectively to open up access to books: Wayfinders #5

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

We are excited to announce the fifth webinar in our 'Wayfinders' series, scheduled for Tues 25 March 2025, 4-5pm GMT.

Following our deep-dive into Subscribe to Open, Wayfinders #5 is an exploration of collective action models enabling open access for books and monographs without the need for Book Processing Charges (BPCs). 

Whether named as members, supporters, partners, investors or others, collective library action is funding open content across many book publishers. This session gathers publisher perspectives from Europe, UK and USA on how they open, and why they open, as well as what’s at stake if we can’t open books in ways that include all scholars.

Join us for a conversation where ‘mixed model’ enables full open access; where human stories of transformation are evident, where R&D is a part of the open publishing story, and where huge and tiny organisations are finding inclusive ways to deliver open access for books, chapters and monographs.

Full details are available in our latest post.

Join us live for this free webinar, bring your questions along, and contribute to the discussion.

We thank the Royal Society of Chemistry for their generous support of our webinars.

Do you have an idea for a future OASPA webinar? If there is a topic you would like us to consider, we invite you to send us your ideas via this form.

Best wishes,
Bernie
