OASPA announced the next OASPA webinar which will explore questions
around the effects of open access on books and how OA ebook usage data
can be improved to better answer such questions in the future.

Analyzing Open – Gaining Insights into Global OA eBook Usage
Date: Monday 23rd November 2020
Time: 3.00 pm – 4.15 pm GMT (other timezones: 7.00 am Pacific Time,
9.00 am Central Time, 10.00 am Eastern Time)

How does open access affect the readership of scholarly books?  How
can we use this information to encourage participation in and support
for open access for books?  What questions about the effects of open
access on books remain unanswered, and how can we improve data about
OA ebook usage so we can better answer these questions in the future?

This panel brings together participants from publishing, libraries and
academia to report back on the work being done in this area and its
value, and discuss where we need to go next.

Speakers: Lara Speicher (Head of Publishing at UCL Press), Ros Pyne
(Director of Open Access Books at Springer Nature), Cameron Neylon
(Director at COARD), and Christina Drummond (Data Trust Program
Officer at the Educopia Institute) will explore open questions around
the effects of open access on books and how OA ebook usage data can be
improved to better answer such questions in the future. Catriona
MacCallum (Hindawi) will chair the webinar.
