As I will be leaving #OAPEN, the managing director wrote this blog. For me it feels a bit weird, like reading your obituary, but if you are looking for a job in the space of #OpenAccess #books and have technical skills, check it out https://oapen.hypotheses.org/1543

So... Is there already a #FlowChartFriday? How about this chart on uploading #OpenAccess #books into the #OAPEN #library?
By the way, see https://oapen.hypotheses.org/178 for context.

"Open access to books 📚
#CERN's Data Centre is now directly hosting both the #OAPEN Library and the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), alongside its other scholarly communication services such as INSPIREhep and Zenodo.
The OAPEN Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to peer-reviewed open access books. Its library provides #OpenAccess to over 40 thousand books." -
So, it's time for the semi-annually upload of #OpenAccess #books from the #OAPEN #Library to #Portico. #DigitalPreservation.

The #OAPEN Library has introduced a new service for supporting libraries: MEMO (Metadata Export Module for Open access books). With this tool, it is possible to define a tailored selection of #OpenAccess #books, using a combination of title, keywords, classification, language publication year and more. This selection can be made available to the library in many export formats, either standardized or build to measure.

The #Bodleian #Libraries at the University of Oxford recently became a premium #OAPEN Library and #DOAB supporter. Silke Davison interviewed David Watson, the Bodleian’s open monograph project officer about their engagement with #OpenAccess books and why they chose to become one of our supporters.

I am really happy to say that a tool we have been working on for quite some time is now officially available. May I present MEMO, the #Metadata Export Module for #OpenAcces #books. MEMO is a bespoke metadata export module for the #OAPEN #Library and allows you to make selections of titles based on different criteria such as subject, language, publication type, and update frequency, and in different metadata formats including: JSON, MARCXML, KBART, HTML, RSS, ONIX.

https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/91107

The Struggle for Abolition
Egeland, Kjølv

https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/91105
The convenient myth of Wilhelm Reich is that he “lost his mind” in the early 1950s, if not before, and that the last seven years of his life and work — the orgone and radiation experiments, the cloudbuster, and flying saucer intrigues — present an embarrassment. Even the counterculture that -

Ein spannendes Gespräch, insb. im Hinblick auf die Aussagen zu #peerreview (Durch Herausgeber*Innen gut zu regeln). Das Argument #openaccess könne innovationsfeindlich sein, verstehe ich allerdings nicht? Weil kleinere Verlage sich die Schnittstelle zu #OAPEN #DOAB nicht leisten können? Sie könnten gem. Lösungen finden, #KI einsetzen, Investitionsentscheidungen anders treffen etc. Sogesehen sind die Anforderungen von #OA innovationsförderlich? https://wien.rocks/@nikolausf/112180239840324752

Re-classifying knowledge: moving from BIC to #Thema. At #OAPEN & #DOAB are moving from the #BIC #classification to the new Thema classification.

@fionabradley Thanks! I've been following #SCOSS from the beginning. Does it now recommend specific governance structures? I can't see any.
As I see it, the awardees are either university-owned (#arXiv #Redalyc #OpenCitations) or FLOSS projects with limited lock-in potential (#DOAJ #SHERPA #PKP #DSpace). #OAPEN and #DOAB are the exception, relatively new orgs under Belgian law.
The SCOSS method is interesting because money flows directly from universities to the targets.
