More about Open Book Collective
Open Book Collective gathers support for publishers to help secure diversity and the financial future of producing and disseminating open access books. The participating publishers include university presses, scholar-led publishers, and independent presses.
This is a support membership, and the contributions from participating institutions will enable the publishers to publish new book titles without any costs for reading or publishing. At the moment, 14 publishers are included, and this number is expected to increase.
Institutions can choose to support the full package of 14 publishers, or select a smaller package.
For researchers: Each institution's library manages the agreements. Contact your library if you have questions.
For research administrators: More information (prices, licenses, etc.) can be found in ConsortiaManager (Edvarda) or by contacting Sikt.
