How do you, as a reader, know that this book is available for free in OA?

@oapenuk #oapenuk

The publisher’s online retail site

@oapenuk #oapenuk

PDF ebook…..first thing the user will see is a price but this book is available in OA

Clearly marked that the book is OA

Have had to insert a line into the ONIX feeds to say that it is available for free in OA as a temporary measure. Not ideal. No links. Still not as visible as would like.

New working group to agree additions to the ONIX controlled vocabulary to support OA books

EDItEUR with Palgrave, Springer, T&F, Liverpool University Press and Amsterdam University Press

Release target: July 2013 @ OA Monographs Conference
