No open access without open infrastructure: Five not-for-profit infrastructures with shared values for OA books

With this lightning talk, we present the collaborative work of five not-for-profit infrastructures – the Open Book Collective, Opening the Future, OAPEN, the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), and Thoth Open Metadata – united by a set of shared, community-led values, who are joining forces to provide innovative, open services, models, workflows, and infrastructures to bring about a fully open and bibliodiverse ecosystem for Open Access books.

Opening the Future, Thoth Open Metadata, OAPEN, DOAB, and Open Book Collective are key stakeholders in the Copim Open Book Futures project funded by Arcadia and the Research England Development Fund (REDFund)/UKRI from 05/2023-04/2026.
