A James Madison University Libraries & Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Partnership Receives IMLS National Forum Grant on Open Access Collecting Strategies

From the Association of Research Libraries (ARL):

James Madison University (JMU) Libraries, in partnership with the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), has been awarded $89,000 by the US Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to convene a national forum of experts and stakeholders to address key opportunities and challenges in building a collective collection-development system for open access (OA) content. This “OA in the Open” forum will engage participants in creative thinking around how a new collective funding model could be designed to minimize the creation of new membership organizations while simultaneously building community stakeholdership.
