10. Open Book Collective
The Open Book Collective are a UK registered charity (charity number: 1206287) that brings together publishers, publishing service providers, and scholarly libraries to secure the diversity and financial futures of open access book production and dissemination.
About us
The Open Book Collective hosts a number resources beyond Copim Compass, and rather duplicate content, we will provide links to these.
Visit the Open Book Collective’s Information Hub, a repository of important documents relating to the OBC such as the OBC Membership Application, Governance Documents, Code of Conduct, OBC Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Statement, etc. The Information Hub also hosts toolkits for OA publishers in progress.
The Toolkit for Small and Scholar-Led Open Access Publishers is a resource to help relevant publishers wanting to set up a press or publishers wanting to improve the way they operate. It is published and maintained by the Open Book Collective and was launched in May 2023.
Executive summary
An important aspect of Open Book Collective's role is as an intermediary organisation that helps libraries invest in open access monograph publishers, contributing to their operations and the production of new open access publications through collective funding. Library supporters also function as part of Open Book Collective's governance as Custodians.
