Not a good look from the publisher here - yes the book is still freely accessible on JSTOR and OAPEN, but on the publisher site the only option is to buy an ebook - or even better to rent it....

I'm sorry and you're right

I would say it was a mutually beneficial arrangement (but my suggestion was in fact better)

Especially that one 🥹

I just got peer reviewed as such, I'm only reiterating their words

It's true I'm a delight

We're delighted by Lafayette's decision to support Michigan State University Press' goals around OA book publishing.

Their investment in MSUP's Opening the Future programme will enable the Press to publish more of its African & Diaspora Studies frontlist openly, without charging authors fees.

I'll be speaking online at the #FORM4Open conference on Monday 20 October, on 'Advancing Open Access Books through Community-Driven Collaboration' with my @copim.bsky.social colleague @kirahopkins.bsky.social.

Looking forward to kicking off #OAWeek with an excellent conversation!

Gutted I couldn't be there, and thanks to @kjsanders.bsky.social accommodating my sudden absence!

Glad it has found a good home!

The expression is sort of giving YouTuber apology though

@kjsanders.bsky.social @yalrightm8.bsky.social heart rate still slightly elevated now tbh

Really glad that my colleagues at @thoth-metadata.bsky.social are finalists for the ALPSP innovation award - it's well deserved! Thoth's infrastructure is foundational. After all, increasing the amount of scholarship published openly is only useful if they are findable!

Thank you @forumforopen.bsky.social it was a pleasure to participate and talk about the history, finance, and infrastructure of OA books!

Always happy to do so, and if anyone reading this has any questions from the webinar we didn't get to, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

The answer presumably is almost always yes

Seriously considering it but that could be heatstroke talking

BRING IT

You won't remember it on account of Copim Corner taking years off your life but you lost 87 times in a row last night/this morning, and I'm sure @jordyfindanis.bsky.social will back me up on this!

Luckily you're much better at advocating for collective OA and the role of libraries in knowledge creation than you are at Uno
