Many questions from the recent Wayfinders #7 conversation (Collective actors: libraries supporting open access without author charges (OASPA Wayfinders #7)) about libraries as collective actors remained unanswered.
OASPA is therefore pleased to announce this follow-on webinar, which will continue to unpack further library perspectives on supporting non-author-fee models for open access (OA).
The conversation will be geared towards practical help for libraries and publishing organisations, such as:
- How do libraries advocate for OA and handle messaging within their institutions?
- What do libraries most need to know about OA offerings - those that seek to transition to no-fee models, or that already do not charge author-facing fees?
- What advice and best practice inputs can be shared about communications from/with OA publishers?
The session will be chaired by Malavika Legge of OASPA along with speakers: Robin Sinn, Sarah Thompson and Jack Hyland.
This panel invites your questions and participation about library evaluations of OA.
Whether or not you joined on 10 June, you are most welcome (back) for this ‘Part 2’ free webinar.
