[IRTalk] Announcing OASPA Webinar: Rights Retention for Books and Book Chapters (November 23)

[Bernie Folan]

OASPA's next webinar is entitled *Rights Retention for Books and Book
Chapters* and will take place on Wednesday November 23. Full information
can be found at this link
<https://oaspa.org/webinar-rights-retention-for-books-and-book-chapters/>.

The webinar which will look at how the focus of rights retention policies
tends to be on articles in scholarly journals and ask is there a good
reason why we would not consider doing the same for the manuscripts of
books or book chapters?

Do publishers object more to rights retention for these types of
publication than for article manuscripts? Would it not be a good idea to
make haste with a more general rights retention policy for books and book
chapters now that more and more funders demand open access for other
publication types than journal articles?

The webinar will be chaired by *Sally Rumsey *(cOAlition S) and speakers
include *Lucy Barnes* (Open Book Publishers), *Per Pippin Aspaas*
(University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of Norway) and *Peter Suber*
(Harvard University). The panellists will each speak for 8 minutes, and
then we will open it up to questions from the audience and discussion.
