Thanks, everyone, for your helpful suggestions, comments etc. on the call which I think we can just about send out - I was simply wondering if anyone here from the library community would like to be named as a contact person along with me and John?

Then, I'm delighted to say that we've added a few more people from the library community to the discussion in the meantime: warm welcome to Lynn Copeland who is Dean of Library Services and University Librarian at SFU and current chair of the Scholarly Communications Committee of the Canadiian Association of Research Libraries (CARL), and, as I understand, also a member of PKP.

Warm welcome also to Shana Kimball and Maria Bonn both from the Scholarly Publishing Office at UMichigan - Shana is the Publications Manager at SPO where she manages the Journal of Electronic Publishing and the new collaborative imprint with UMichigan press, digitalculturebooks http://www.digitalculture.org/ - this seems like exactly the kinds of innovative collaborative relationships we would like to learn more about and imitate. Maria is Head of the Library's scholarly publishing effort where she is responsible for both the production of electronic books and journals and for developing Library strategy in scholarly communication.

Needless to say, it's fantastic to have all of you here and to have the opportunity to learn from your experiences. I know we have lots of questions to ask them.

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.

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.

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
