Dear colleagues,

book publisher, invite librarians and researchers to join a discussion
about the creation and usage of OA books.

· *Date and time:* Thursday, 20 May at 09:00 UTC.

Lucy Barnes, Editor and Outreach Coordinator, and Laura Rodriguez,
Marketing and Library Relations Officer at OBP, will lead the discussion,
addressing the following questions:

· What OA book formats are most useful to you and your library users?

· How does your library discover and engage with OA books?

· How would you like OA books to be delivered?

· How can we facilitate greater usage of OA books within your research and
student communities?

· Metadata – is there a format other than MARC (machine-readable
cataloging) records that would be useful for you?

· How much are authors interested in publishing OA books and chapters?

· How do we build engagement with authors/researchers around the creation
and use of OA books?

· Are there book series or subject areas that particularly need more open
access outlets?
