FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jessica Pellien Date: Fri, Aug 4, 2023 at 12:10 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] News: News: MIT Press's Direct to Open (D2O) achieves second year goal, opens access to 82 new books in 2023 To: ifla-l@iflalists.org *with apologies for crossposting* Hello – The MIT Press is delighted to share that we have successfully ended our second year of Direct to Open. We are grateful to the 322 libraries who have partnered with us this year and happy that the result is 82 new OPEN scholarly monographs and edited collections. The details are in the press release below and we hope you’ll join us in celebrating this milestone in developing a sustainable and scalable open access publishing model!! If you have questions about D2O or would like to learn more about how you can participate, please contact our library relations team . If you’re looking for MARC records for this collection or a prospectus, please visit the D2O site https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/direct-to-open. Best, Jess MIT Press's Direct to Open (D2O) achieves second year goal, opens access to eighty-two new books in 2023 With 322 participating libraries and new consortium agreements, the D2O publishing model has now opened access to more than 160 scholarly monographs and edited collections. August 3, 2023 (Cambridge, MA)—Thanks to the support of libraries participating in Direct to Open https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/direct-to-open (D2O), the MIT Press will publish its full list (see below) of 2023 scholarly monographs and edited collections open access on the MIT Press Direct platform. Launched in 2021, D2O is a sustainable framework that harnesses the collective power of libraries to support open and equitable access to vital, leading scholarship. D2O moves scholarly books from a solely market-based, purchase model, where individuals and libraries buy single eBooks, to a collaborative, library-supported open access model. Instead of purchasing a title once for a single collection, libraries now have the opportunity to fund them one time for the world through participant fees. “With the successful conclusion of our second year of Direct to Open, we are thrilled to make the Press’s complete list of 2023 monographs openly available,” said Amy Brand, director and publisher of the MIT Press. “This achievement comes at a pivotal time for open science, research, and publishing and would not be possible without the partnership and collaboration of D2O member libraries and consortia. Together, we are proving open access scholarship is not only achievable, but sustainable and scalable.” In its second year, 322 libraries, an increase of 33% from the first year, from around the globe committed to support D2O. Expanding D2O’s international footprint, the Press also entered into all-in agreements with Big Ten Academic Alliance and the Konsortium der sächsischen Hochschulbibliotheken, as well as central licensing and invoicing agreements with Council of Australian University Librarians, Center for Research Libraries; Greater Western Library Alliance, MOBIUS, Northeast Research Libraries, Jisc, Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration and Innovation, SCELC, and Lyrasis. “When we launched Direct to Open two years ago, we passionately believed that taking action to foster a more equitable, sustainable, and open scholarly communication ecosystem was vital and urgent,” said Amy Harris, senior manager, library relations and sales at the MIT Press. “Success was not guaranteed and has required dedicated, hard work to achieve this year; but we have been truly humbled by the support of all of the participating libraries and our consortia partners.” In the coming year, the Press will seek to expand library participation in the model. Supporting libraries not only contribute to opening frontlist titles, but also receive exclusive participation benefits including term access to a backlist collection of over 2,400 titles.
