Dear Heather Many thanks for the suggestion. This is a question I will pose to the SCOSS Board.

I don't see a mechanism on the SCOSS website. Does SCOSS serve more as a recommender of initiatives than a coordinating body to fund these initiatives?

As a new year begins, we are working hard to continue spreading the word of this latest appeal to the international library community. SCOSS was formed in early 2017 with the purpose of providing a new co-ordinated cost-sharing framework for enabling the broader OA and OS community to support the non-commercial services on which it depends. It is committed to helping provide funding for the operation and development of key services. For this funding round, SCOSS thoroughly vetted four services that we are presenting to the international community for community funding: * The Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.doabo oks.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CPaige_Mann%40redlands.edu%7Cc2e3ae4045944f40e6 d208d7a0c50224%7C496b6d7d089e431889efd9fdf760aafd%7C0%7C0%7C6371546403386731 91&sdata=b0MtyoY9QzB2TmQPklMVLDpeLkm6v2U9VPay7dy%2FOdA%3D&reserved=0 > ), a digital directory of peer-reviewed Open Access books and Open Access book publishers; and Open Access Publishing in European Networks (OAPEN <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oapen. org%2Fhome&data=02%7C01%7CPaige_Mann%40redlands.edu%7Cc2e3ae4045944f40e6 d208d7a0c50224%7C496b6d7d089e431889efd9fdf760aafd%7C0%7C0%7C6371546403386731 91&sdata=HZol4OeYSsN25OUpm0MPqfXIW%2Fs%2BMCflsrZLohb3VQw%3D&reserved =0> ), a growing repository of freely accessible academic books; * * The Public Knowledge Project (PKP <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpkp.sfu.c a%2F&data=02%7C01%7CPaige_Mann%40redlands.edu%7Cc2e3ae4045944f40e6d208d7 a0c50224%7C496b6d7d089e431889efd9fdf760aafd%7C0%7C0%7C637154640338673191& ;sdata=Qq8sQZZ9%2B2SAWVTvkCeXFZWV135huNeBrseBxXHe5VY%3D&reserved=0> ), a university initiative that creates open-source software and services, including Open Journal Systems (OJS), which is used to publish more than 9,000 OA journals worldwide. * * OpenCitations <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fopencitat ions.net%2F&data=02%7C01%7CPaige_Mann%40redlands.edu%7Cc2e3ae4045944f40e 6d208d7a0c50224%7C496b6d7d089e431889efd9fdf760aafd%7C0%7C0%7C637154640338673 191&sdata=M88Rz9ocf1sNo8ttZiog1uo01F3HPPxLjR68rBEZtZE%3D&reserved=0> , a scholarly infrastructure service that provides open bibliographic and citation data; With your help, we can help ensure that these services have the chance to continue to be free and open to us all. More than 200 of your fellow academic institutions around the world have collectively pledged more than 1.6 million Euros during the first funding cycle. This support provides essential bridge funding to the Directory of Open Access Journals and Sherpa/RoMEO while they work to achieve more secure, long-term financial footing. As a member of the community that relies on these services, we are asking that your institution consider becoming part of a voluntary endowment network supporting them. For more details about the services and how they were evaluated, to see the suggested fee structure, and more background about this initiative, see scoss.org <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscoss.org %2F&data=02%7C01%7CPaige_Mann%40redlands.edu%7Cc2e3ae4045944f40e6d208d7a 0c50224%7C496b6d7d089e431889efd9fdf760aafd%7C0%7C0%7C637154640338673191& sdata=YGl1TfgubVuFxFUIeycTOGL3B28Yz0FGqP%2BeB4FLMl0%3D&reserved=0> .
