Pierre Mounier replied to the topic Meet the members of the Open Access Books Network in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoBecause I think that giving free access to books and their content is just the continuation in the online world of what libraries have been doing for decades: give access to knowledge to everyone.

Lucy Barnes replied to the topic Developments for open access book funding & policies in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 5 years, 5 months agoSuch a shame to see CUP setting up exclusive deals like this, rather than shifting to scrap BPCs and welcome OA book proposals from anyone. A press with their resources and reputation should be showing more leadership and ambition, in my opinion.
