OASPA announces the 2nd Conference on Open Access Scholarly 
Publishing

Following the success of the first Conference on Open Access 
Scholarly Publishing (COASP), the Open Access Scholarly 
Publishers Association is pleased to announce that it will hold 
the second installment of this conference later this year. The 
first conference, COSAP 2009, was held in Lund, Sweden last 
September and brought together more than 130 participants from 28 
countries, and the video presentations from the conference, which 
are available at http://river-valley.tv/conferences/oaspa-2009/, 
have each been seen by hundreds of viewers in the months 
following the conference.

The second Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing will be 
held from August 22-24 at the President Hotel 
(http://www.hotelpresident.cz/) next to Prague's historic Old 
Town. The conference aims to bring together publishers, scholars, 
librarians, and research administrators to follow up on many of 
the themes that came out of the last conference. Both the 
conference website and the conference program are still under 
development, and more information should become available over 
the next few weeks.

Inquiries can be addressed to the conference chair, Paul Peters, 
at paul.peters@hindawi.com.
