Always nice when librarians thank you for saying what they feel they cannot through institutional pressure.
Thank you for your kind words! We loved hearing about the work you're doing at Utrecht to reframe and push back at some of the more troubling paradigms of schol Comms/publishing. Exciting times there 😄 #OXFOS26
We'll be at #UKSG2026 later this month!
📆 30 Mar - 1 Apr
Join us for Plenary 1 to discuss 'A fox in the henhouse? University presses, corporate takeovers, and implications for the future of scholarly books' 🦊
@kirahopkins.bsky.social @scholtom.bsky.social
We're back on the road (or rails) again! 🚆
Join @kirahopkins.bsky.social and @kjsanders.bsky.social at #OxFOS

Grab a recording of the echo-y covered market before it gets redeveloped! That's right behind the library. You can also record me screaming with horror outside my old subject library
Depending on what kind of noise you're after I might have location recs! I am also duty bound to say 'Oxford is not a campus university' (they revoke your degree if you don't point this out)
We now have more open infrastructures and open access publishers (born diamond OA) but we have a funding crisis in libraries (due to broader HE funding crisis) #CopimConference
Your paper was great - even for those of us who don't work much with metadata (especially from the library side) everything was so clear and engaging!
Cool thanks for letting me know - wanted to check before I picked one up as it looked like it might be!
This is cool but I just want to check - has this art been AI generated?
Lots of team Copim are heading down to London today to set up for the #CopimConference tomorrow!
We're excited for brilliant panels & insightful discussions as we think together about what's next for community-led #OAbooks.

FYI, Academia.edu has changed its terms of service to give an irrevocable worldwide license for anything uploaded to its site to be used for generative AI. I do not consent to this and have pulled all my papers.
As a reminder RELX have financial, operational, and strategic ties to Palantir: theintercept.com/2019/11/14/i...
Libraries continue to fund & service the global surveillance apparatus. This is probably not what Illich had in mind when he described the library as "the prototype of a convivial tool.
The whole OtF team will be around at the @independentpublishersguild.com conference all day. Come find us if you want a chat about OA book funding and business models!
Come and join us (in person or remotely) for what we hope will be a very interesting set of sessions!
omg no jokes I have never made that connection loool

Really looking forward to this opportunity to give researchers the necessary information to take ownership of their work, and to exert their rights!
I've been enjoying the time travelling nostalgia posts immensely
Congratulations to @unioflimerick.bsky.social who has just subscribed to Central European University Press' Opening the Future programme via IReL! Our members have access to a range of opt-in Diamond OA offers:

We didn't want you to pull focus with your amazing t-shirt
Thanks for letting us at OtF scrape, we had a lovely time 😎
There's working hard and there's working smart 😂

Thank you for linking that! I suppose so many reasons - my current worry is that outreach and resources reach only those already interested in open research, and don't get dispersed widely enough! Also, I love your work at the Schol Comms Lab it's been so illuminating :D
