The Open Access Books Network announces a series of online events organised and hosted by Jeroen Sondervan, in which scholars from different academic fields will present their open access book project. They will give an insight into their project, followed by a conversation about how it came to be an open access book and what challenges and opportunities they’ve encountered. We will also dive into how technologies like new publishing software, innovative workflow processes, book sprinting and open peer review have shaped the project. The audience is invited to join the conversation and share questions, thoughts, ideas and good practices.

For the fourth event we welcome Prof Jeff Pooley of Muhlenberg College to talk about his project Social Media & The Self: An Open Reader.
