Abstract
Library Support for OA Books Workshop: the German perspective.
Highlights
The event was organised jointly by three European projects
The workshop was divided in two parts: the first one focused on the main challenges that libraries encounter when supporting OA books-related initiatives, while the second one evolved around a discussion among a proposed model for collaborative funding for OA books
Decentralisation determines a multiplicity of approaches towards OA and it became apparent that a one size fits all model is not sustainable in the German context: what would work in Saxonia might be completely incompatible with the existing infrastructures in North Rhine-Westphalia
Summary
The event was organised jointly by three European projects. COPIM, open-access.network and OPERAS-P came together to host a workshop that brought together library and university presses representatives in Germany. Library Support for OA Books Workshop: the German perspective.
