‘Voices from the Open Access Books Community’ was a series of discussion-based events, organised by the Open Access Books Network, that brought together as many members of the OA books community as possible to analyse different areas of policy for Open Access books. These discussions fed into a summary document that was created by SPARC Europe.
A blog post reflecting upon the outcomes of the series is available to view here and you can download the summary document here. This summary was shared with cOAlition S.
