Abstract
The open access (OA) movement was taking libraries by storm, and scholarly communication librarianship was trending in 2009 when I was the coordinator of the Humanities Collection Group (Huma) at the University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB). All of the buzz centered on STEM journals and commercial publishers. The Huma librarians—subject librarians for the humanities—were curious about how the OA movement and scholarly communication issues impacted the humanities.

In an era of Transformative Agreements, the humanist in me is currently concerned with examining transformative OA monograph initiatives, in particular, the Community-Led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs (COPIM) project.[4]
The publishing infrastructures relied on by university presses and commercial publishers are based on book publishing charges and cost analysis alone
Summary
The open access (OA) movement was taking libraries by storm, and scholarly communication librarianship was trending in 2009 when I was the coordinator of the Humanities Collection Group (Huma) at the University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB). Work package 3 is facilitating a knowledge exchange among publishers, academics, learned societies, and open technology developers to explore alternative business models that will enable non-OA presses to transition to OA.
