Standards, such as ONIX, are critical for a "smart" supply chain. Better #metadata --> better book discovery! #bookpublishing #supplychain

Could just be me, but I’d trade one of the dozens of reports on open access currently in circulation for a single report on how to keep people who hate publishing as far as possible from university press reporting structures.

This is going to blow your mind. We don’t have to choose between authors having their work pirated and having libraries offer ebooks. We could INCREASE our library funding enough to compensate authors. HOLY ****. It’s almost like everything doesn’t have to be an argument.
