[InetBib] Einladung zur Vorstellung der OAPEN Library am 6. Oktober auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse

["Buddenbohm, Stefan" <buddenbohm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Liebe Liste,

das europäische Verbundprojekt Open Access Publishing in European Networks
(OAPEN, http://www.oapen.org) wird anlässlich der Frankfurter Buchmesse am 6.
Oktober offiziell die OAPEN Library vorstellen. Dazu möchten wir Sie herzlich
einladen - siehe englischsprachige Einladung unten.

Die OAPEN Library wird als gemeinsame Kollektion von digitalen und
qualitätsgeprüften Monografien aus den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften
aufgebaut. Alle Inhalte werden Open Access verfügbar sein. Das
OAPEN-Konsortium besteht derzeit aus sieben Universitätsverlagen und zwei
Universitäten aus verschiedenen europäischen Ländern und ist an der
Zusammenarbeit mit weiteren Verlagen, insbesondere Open-Access-affinen
Wissenschafts- und Universitätsverlagen, interessiert.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Stefan Buddenbohm


Launch of the OAPEN Library at the Frankfurt Book Fair
 
We are pleased to announce that OAPEN, the European project dedicated to Open
Access publishing of academic books, will officially launch the OAPEN Library
at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
 
The ceremony will take place on Wednesday, October 6, 12 AM in Hall 4.2 - C
1433 (Education Hot Spot stage) of the Frankfurt Book Fair.
 
The launching ceremony of the OAPEN Library will mark the start of the first
dedicated collection of freely available academic books in the Humanities and
Social Sciences from across Europe. Through the OAPEN Library we aim to build
a branded collection of Open Access peer-reviewed books and to increase the
visibility and retrievability of high-quality European research. We also aim
to promote Open Access book publishing by developing common standards, based
on transparent procedures for peer review and recommendations for OA
licences.
It is of course no coincidence that we have chosen the Frankfurt Book Fair,
the oldest and largest book fair in the world and vitally important to the
international book trade, to launch the OAPEN Library and introduce a new
economic model for academic books, based on Open Access to academic
information. We believe the OAPEN Library will contribute to a new and
vibrant future of the academic monograph in the digital age.
 
We hope to welcome you at the ceremony. If you wish to attend, please let us
know through oapen@xxxxxx
