📣OA event idea for December! ALN are looking for speakers and presentations focusing on Green OA (such as promoting, challenges, journals vs books and discoverability) Please let me know if you are interested or would like further information.💚

Chuffed to see mine and @cathdishman.bsky.social's new article has been published! The team at UKSG Insights have been a dream to work with on this & we are so pleased to share our experiences of managing library-based hosting & publishing services. The article is completely #OpenAccess so enjoy!

Last year Lancaster University Library was awarded the Open Library of Humanities Open Access Award. Here's a blog post for the Open Library of Humanities website outlining how we used the funding granted by the award to support our research culture activity relating to Open Access Books.

Great post from Tom Morley at Lancaster Uni Lib re. using an @openlibhums.org Open Access Award grant 'to facilitate a research culture in which #OAbooks publishing is part of normal, everyday practice' Really practical, achievable steps to shift publication culture: www.openlibhums.org/news/861/
