Open Access Books meeting - challenges and business models

[Caroline Sutton <caroline.sutton@co-action.net>]

Given the recent discussions concerning electronic books, open 
access books and future business models, I would like to once 
again extend an invitation to those interested in this topic to 
join the Open Access BOOKS breakout session at the forthcoming 
Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing, August 22-24 in 
Prague.

This special breakout session has been arranged due to numerous 
requests, and will be chaired by Eelco Ferwerda, OAPEN 
coordinator and Publisher of Digital Products at the Amsterdam 
University Press.

The OAPEN group is hosting a meeting tomorrow in the Netherlands 
to discuss Open Access books publishing, and this should give 
some basis for further discussion in Prague. We hope that a broad 
group of interested parties will join the session. Questions and 
suggestions can be sent to myself or to Eelco Ferwerda.

More information about the conference can be found at: 
www.oaspa.org/coasp

The conference organizing committee will be posting a full 
program shortly.

Kind regards,
caroline
