Good point Serge,

I should have put these links in yesterday (I am blaming a headcold for fuzzy thinking). You might find the information on the Office of Scholarly Communication webpages useful.

Very nice, indeed Danny,
But is there something anywhere on the web we could use as a reference?

Objet : [GOAL] Open Access Week at Cambridge - Wednesday

*Discussion: 'How open access can help you'*
Today Dr Danny Kingsley accepted an invitation from Dr Rupert Gatti, one of the Directors of the Open Book Publishers http://www.openbookpublishers.com/section/14/1/about to attend a discussion hosted by Professor Steve Connor, the Head of English about open access and the future of academic publishing. Some very powerful statements were addressed including 'The world of academic publishing is over’ and '*The monograph as an entity is very powerful thing – for the author not for the reader*’. Issues around the readership of the legacy publishing model compared to those of open publishing models *were explored in the context of the current reward system*. These are profound questions for the Arts and Humanities in a time of drastic funding cuts. New ‘publishing’ models were discussed in light of the types of online and digital research now being conducted in the Humanities, and the challenges associated with maintaining the integrity of the links into the long term. This is likely to be the first of a series of discussions about this important topic.
