We recently hosted an online workshop looking into the interconnected worlds of #metadata #archiving #accessibility

Featuring small, scholar-led, university & library presses, the event was structured around 3 core themes, each representing a critical pillar in the #OAbook publishing ecosystem:

1️⃣ Safeguarding the Legacy of OA
2️⃣ Ensuring Inclusivity and Equity in OA
3️⃣ Improvements in metadata management, new services, in-development features

Join us on Nov 6 to explore how the @DiamasProject is building capacity in Diamond publishing, learn what recommendations #PALOMERA has for #OABook policies, and CRAFT-OA's @OpenAIRE_eu publisher dashboard is all about! #OA #DiamondOA

"The key to our collective survival is our collective knowledge and our willingness to collaborate in good faith. To unlock and utilise the great and growing pool of knowledge, we need to reimagine higher education as an open commons. Scholars are not cogs in a capitalist knowledge factory. We need stewards of the public knowledge commons."

👏🏽 Jim Luke (@econproph) is on 🔥 here - go read his amazing chapter
"Closing the factory: Reimagining higher education as commons", which has been published just earlier this week as an #OAbook with @OpenBookPublish
