De septembre à novembre 2026, l'ASSAf, Crossref, DOAJ, EIFL et PKP se réunissent pour partager des conseils pratiques, des ressources et leurs expériences sur des sujets tels que la durabilité, les métadonnées et la découvrabilité, ainsi que la visibilité. https://doi.org/10.64000/xzjzz-t2820

What does sustainability mean for #OAbooks ? #OASPA2026

For @copim.bsky.social, more than financial viability: it is about community governance, relationships across the ecosystem, fair recognition of labour, and resilience – 'scaling small' rather than growing big. More: doi.org/10.21428/785...

🙌 Have we connected with you at @oaspa.bsky.social's #OASPA2026 yet? Today promises to be full of #OpenKnowledge, #OpenInfrastructure, and #Interoperability discussions, topics core to our communities and what we do, so let's connect!

😺 If you see Urooj or Juan, flag them down and chat it up!
