An excellent Q asked by the moderator at #SCURL22 about the possibility that what we're building will have commercial value.
We recently released a statement emphasising that we're building infrastructure that is *not* for commercial acquisition:
copim.pubpub.org/pub/copim-s…
#OA

ALT A screenshot of text that reads: "From its beginning, COPIM has been driven by the belief, held by all its partners (a consortium of universities, libraries, scholar-led OA publishers and research infrastructure providers) that the infrastructure we rely on to publish and disseminate OA books should itself be open, and owned and governed by the research communities that use it. We have repeatedly cited the widely-quoted argument by Bilder, Lin and Neylon that ‘Everything we have gained by opening content and data will be under threat if we allow the enclosure of scholarly infrastructures’ and this motivates and shapes our work. The recent acquisitions of OA infrastructures by large for-profit corporations pose precisely this threat."

Interested to know if anyone is introducing functionality in their discovery system to help our users alert us if they see issues with how we are representing our collections e.g. to propose that we change subject headings, etc. We are poised to do this @aberdeenunilib #SCURL22

One of the advantages of having your own public library in the building is that you can trust the amazing public library staff @silvercitylibs to provide the right titles to 'read yourself happy' #SCURL22
