Open access monographs

["Brunner, Marta" <martab AT library.ucla.edu>]

Dear all,

 

I am submitting a proposal to the upcoming Association of College and Research Libraries national conference for a roundtable discussion of open access scholarly monograph publishing and the roles that libraries could/should play in this endeavor.  This would be a great outreach opportunity for OHP.  If anyone on this list is planning to or would like to attend ACRL and would like to join me in this roundtable, please contact me off-list.  The conference is in Seattle, March 12-19, 2009.  Note that ACRL roundtables are not presentations; they are informal, directed discussions.  The deadline for roundtable submissions is November 23.  For more information, see the ACRL conference web site: http://www.acrl.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/events/seattle/program/callforparticipation.cfm

 

I will take care of drafting/submitting the proposal, so the time commitment would be minimal beyond showing up in Seattle at the appointed time and being ready to talk about the kinds of things we have been discussing on this list.

 

Best,

Marta
