From: adam hodgkin <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2018 10:55:30 +0200 This is indeed a very important and interesting proclamation. The last sentence caught my eye - and may be a partial answer to Rick's questtiion: "At the same time, we will continue to monitor the landscape for promising new publishing initiatives and approaches in which to invest." I am curious as to the new publishing initiatives in which the CDL will be willing to invest. And I wonder whether annually priced subscriptions for content are ruled out -- eg for not obviously or purely academic content: poetry, fiction, art, some types of reference publishing etc. Adam Adam Hodgkin www.exacteditions.com and my book *Following Searle on Twitter* http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/F/bo25370730.html On Sun, Jun 24, 2018 at 8:59 PM, LIBLICENSE <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > From: Rick Anderson <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 03:17:34 +0000 > > This is really interesting, Ivy – thanks for sharing it. > > > > One question: I notice the phrase “the moral imperative of achieving a > truly open scholarly communication system.” Can you tell us how UC defines > a “truly open scholarly communication system”?
