OAPEN-UK focus group at the British Library

A couple of the UKCoRR committee members attended a focus group yesterday, aimed at repository managers, of the JISC/AHRC-funded OAPEN-UK project, which will run to 2015 and which aims to gather “evidence to help stakeholders make informed decisions on the future of open access scholarly monograph publishing in the humanities and social sciences”.

We were both there in a ‘personal’ capacity, rather than representing UKCoRR; however UKCoRR members may find my report from the focus group interesting.
