In this workshop, we ask what we need beyond technical interoperability to ensure a bright future for open access research and publication.
Great post from Tom Morley at Lancaster University Library about applying for an OLH Open Access Award grant last year & using the money 'to facilitate a research culture in which #OAbooks publishing is part of normal, everyday practice.'
Contains some really practical, achievable steps for shifting publication culture among academics.
(Also provides fresh evidence that the 'OA books don't come in paper form' myth refuses to die... Keep showing off the paper copies!)
