- FYI – more reaction from the announcement of the acquisition of bepress by Elsevier:
- SPARC and COAR issued a joint statement indicating it underscores https://sparcopen.org/news/2017/elsevier-acquisition-highlights-the-need-for-community-based-scholarly-communication-infrastructure/
- which generated a proposal being discussed on the SPARC listserv thread called the "2.5% Commitment," calling on academic libraries to support (presumably through a fund) several initiatives:
- "This common infrastructure can be defined broadly but it would include at least contributions to: 1. Open source software projects that support the open scholarly commons. This would include projects like DSpace, Fedora, Hyku, Open Journal System, ArchivesSpace or Islandora..."
- Since the proposal in development "is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license" I include it here:
