Book Processing Charges don’t scale but they’re still the dominant method of funding OA monographs\, despite the recent emergence of several alternatives to BPCs: collective funding models like Opening the Future\, the Open Book Collective\, Direct 2 Open\, Path to Open etc. \n\n\n\nThrough presentations and audience Q&A we’ll pose some provocative questions to explore this theme: \n\n\n\n\nHow can these new models achieve sustainability and get out from the ‘back of the sofa’ of end-of-year leftover funds?\n\n\n\nHow can libraries continue to make a strategic case for investing in these models when budgets are being cut?\n\n\n\nHow can the sector work together to promote and maximise these alternative models in the world of increasingly tight budgets?\n\n\n\nWith demand increasing for monographs to be open this is a timely and urgent discussion with library and publishing OA experts.\n\n\n\n\nRecording \n\n\n\nYou may still register for this event recording here. \n\n\n\nSlides \n\n\n\nOur speakers have kindly agreed to make their slides available.

I never experienced any technical difficulties. Due to the austerity measures brought by the recent worldwide events the training budget in my institution was frozen\, so the fact that UKSG webinars are free is really a boon too! \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UKSG webinar was fantastic – well-organized\, timely\, accessible\, and with an array of presenters that had insight into the topic \nAnonymous\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreat to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards. \nEmma Thompson\, Glasgow Caledonian University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNB: UKSG reserves the right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact \n\n\n\nThis is a free webinar – Please note that advance registration is required. \n\n\n\nPlease take a look at our code of conduct \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCancellations \n\n\n\nIf you have already registered and are subsequently unable to attend\, please do not cancel your registration – only active registrations will receive the recording in a follow-up e-mail. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this Event\n\n\n\nPlease help us by letting your colleagues and friends know about our event.
