LYROpen Fair Session 2: Exploring Open Content Revenue Models, aka what does it all mean?





No sessions are currently scheduled for this event. To request a new session, please contact membersupport@lyrasis.org

Description:

There are myriad models for supporting open publications, and keeping track of all the terminology can feel overwhelming. What is the difference between green, gold and diamond OA? Is Subscribe to Open the same thing as Opening the Future? And what exactly do people mean when they talk about transformative agreements?

No one model can sustainably transition all scholarly content to open, so in this session we will attempt to remove confusion surrounding the various options being offered to libraries. In this introductory webinar the presenters will simply and clearly explain the different revenue models for supporting open content, specifically related to electronic open books and open journals, as well as provide an overview of which models are currently being supported through LYRASIS Open initiatives. Handouts will be distributed during this session as a reference guide for future decision making.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the session, participants should be able to:

Understand different open content revenue models for electronic books and journals.
Know where to go/who to contact to get more information about open models offered through LYRASIS.
