The future is Diamond!

Swing by the OIPA (67) and Copim (66) stands to learn more about how we are advancing Diamond Open Access through collective funding.

#UKSG2026 @uksg.bsky.social

Erica Yu from Erasmus University Rotterdam: If not now, when? Now is the perfect time to shift our library investment towards diamond #OpenAccess #UKSG2026 Nice echo of our @ojcollective.bsky.social flyer you can find at the @oipassoc.bsky.social & @copim.bsky.social stands!

We are represented on both the OIPA and @copim.bsky.social stands at #UKSG2026!

Come by and find out more about how we are collectively funding Diamond Open Access journals and bringing chaos to scholarly publishing 💎

Just in time for #UKSG2026 the @openlibhums.org team have launched this blistering Robin Hood poster campaign. Divest from commercial publishing (the rich) & redirect your library budget into non-profit scholar-led publishing like @ojcollective.bsky.social & @openbookcollective.bsky.social ! 💪🏼🔥💪🏼

V. pleased to announce this. We have been working together for some time, but the MoU helps formalise things. The divisions between books & journals in the scholarly system are ultimately arbitrary, so this kind of collaboration is vital to collectively argue for better ways of doing open publishing

Incredibly excited to share the news that we will be working more closely with @openbookcollective.bsky.social!

Just tagging Cambridge University Library @theul.bsky.social into this!
