Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC) Scholarly Communications Committee meeting, online, 30 October 2020

In this presentation, Joe provided an update about the project following the completion of the initial scoping research, and introduced the project team's current thinking about the platform/model to be developed for use by stakeholders. The working title of the platform is the 'Open Book Collective', which is imagined to operate as an intermediary between higher education institutions/libraries and OA publishers/infrastructure providers. It would operate in tandem with a new collective membership scheme featuring both ScholarLed publisher and existing OA infrastructure providers.
