****With apologies for cross-posting****

Registration is now open for our next webinar which will be held on *Tuesday
23 July *at 3.00pm BST.

The last webinar until after summer in the OASPA Open Scholarship Webinar
Series is *How should Scholarly Societies transition to OA?*
The OASPA Open Scholarship Webinar Series is delighted to focus its 6th
webinar entirely on Scholarly Societies and Open Access publishing. *Aileen
Fyfe*, University of St Andrews, sets the scene: when and why did scholarly
Societies get involved in publishing, what changed their mission in the
20th Century and what choices do they face now? *Stuart Taylor*, Publishing
Director of The Royal Society (the first Society to publish a scientific
journal) showcases what the Royal Society is doing and discusses how
societies might work together towards a common goal. *Rachael Samberg*, UC
Berkeley Library, introduces a group of like-minded individuals from
libraries, academic institutions, publishers, and consortia who have
organized to provide support and advocacy for Learned and Professional
Societies called  ‘Transitioning Society Publications to Open Access
(TSPOA)’. And *Alicia Wise*, Information Power, reveals the latest from the
‘Society Publishers Accelerating Open access and Plan S’ (SPA-OPS) project,
commissioned by Wellcome, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and The
Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP).

If you are interested in the future of knowledge and the role of Scholarl.y
and Learned Societies in Open Access, then please join us for this free
public webinar on Tuesday 23rd July. The presentations by the four
panelists will be within the first hour. This will be followed by an
extended Q&A discussion - bring those questions you always wanted to ask.
It should be fun. Full information and panelist biographies at
