Re: Raym Crow on publishing cooperatives



Dear Joe,

Glad you found the Publishing Cooperatives article of interest. SPARC has actively worked with the non-profit publishing community since its inception - working directly in partnership with dozens of scholarly societies to help them make the transition to electronic publishing on projects like BioOne and Project Euclid. You can see the range of partnerships that SPARC supports at: http://www.arl.org/sparc/partner/index.html

The publishing cooperatives paper doesn't signal a policy shift at all - rather it is simply a continuation of our original mission of exploring new models of scholarly publishing that address the inequities and inefficiencies in the current models.

Best,
