Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This talk introduces the challenge of operating with the entangled relations of value (e.g. financial relations) and values (e.g. social relations) within scholarly publishing, with a particular focus on how this plays out in the development of Open Access publishing infrastructures. In doing so, it uses the Open Book Collective platform as a case study, discussing the ways in which we have negotiated the ongoing reconfiguration of value/values in its development. The talk also presents some of the aims of the Open Book Collective and the potential benefits its work might bring for both publishers/OA service providers and libraries/other supporters.
