Open access monographs

[Guédon Jean-Claude <jean.claude.guedon AT umontreal.ca>]

For ACLS, Pauline Yu, the President, would be the person to write to. She 
knows me slightly. She is a French lit scholar, by the way (among other 
specialties). I think she would be interested even though OA is not her 
highest priority.

Best,

Jean-Claude

Sigi,
 
I'll have a read through the draft soon, but in response to your question 
about dissemination, I have a few suggestions off the top of my head:
1. the Council on Library and Information Resources (www.clir.org 
<http://www.clir.org> ) -- they would want to be aware of this kind of 
initiative and may be able to publicize it. 
2. SPARC--Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition 
(www.arl.org/sparc <http://www.arl.org/sparc> ) -- this is an arm of the 
Association of Research Libraries.  
3. the Association of College and Research Libraries (www.ala.org/acrl/) -- 
this is a division of the American Library Association.
4. the American Council of Learned Societies -- this is not a library 
organization, of course, but they do get involved in library initiatives 
(they've worked closely with CLIR) and they have the ACLS Humanities E-Book 
project, which someone may have mentioned on this list already 
(http://www.humanitiesebook.org/).  That project seems to have involved 
librarians.
 
Unfortunately, I don't know specific contact persons to suggest (though I 
could readily come up with someone from CLIR since I am meeting with its 
president this week).  Perhaps others on this list could suggest appropriate 
contact people or listservs to target.
 
Marta

Subject: [OA-monographs] OHP/PKP call for library participants



Hi everyone,

I'm enclosing a draft of a call for library participants in a joint
OHP/PKP OA monograph publishing grant. I'd be very glad of your comments
before we send it out more widely. (I'd also be grateful for suggestions
for people and places we might send it to, especially internationally.)

I'll also take this moment do another quick round of introductions since
we've added a few more people onto the list in the meantime: warm
welcome to Janet Carter, one of Marta's colleagues at UCLA, Jim
Galbraith, Head of Collection Development at UCI library, and Drew
Davidson, Director of a new OA monograph press from the Carnegie Mellon
Entertainment Technology Center (ETC-press) that recently launched in
BETA. It's fantastic to have the opportunity to get your input.

All best,
Sigi
