Another question (inspired by Paige's, thanks): is there a way for
researchers and/or research projects like Sustaining the Knowledge Commons
without funding to commit to officially endorse SCOSS?

Hi Vanessa,
How do individuals or libraries contribute to "SCOSS co-ordinated funding"?
I don't see a mechanism on the SCOSS website. Does SCOSS serve more as a
recommender of initiatives than a coordinating body to fund these
initiatives?
Thanks for clarifying,
Paige

Dear colleagues,
Last month, SCOSS

;sdata=meNdHiUrT6e2l201jkDzWHO0G%2BtGViiHj5OHrRAWfs0%3D&reserved=0> , a
crowd-funding style initiative intent on helping secure the services that
comprise our vital Open Science / Scholarship infrastructure, launched our
second funding cycle.
As a new year begins, we are working hard to continue spreading the word of
this latest appeal to the international library community.
SCOSS was formed in early 2017 with the purpose of providing a new
co-ordinated cost-sharing framework for enabling the broader OA and OS
community to support the non-commercial services on which it depends. It is
committed to helping provide funding for the operation and development of
key services.
For this funding round, SCOSS thoroughly vetted four services that we are
presenting to the international community for community funding:
* The Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB

, a scholarly infrastructure service that provides open bibliographic and
citation data;
With your help, we can help ensure that these services have the chance to
continue to be free and open to us all.
More than 200 of your fellow academic institutions around the world have
collectively pledged more than 1.6 million Euros during the first funding
cycle. This support provides essential bridge funding to the Directory of
Open Access Journals and Sherpa/RoMEO while they work to achieve more
secure, long-term financial footing.
As a member of the community that relies on these services, we are asking
that your institution consider becoming part of a voluntary endowment
network supporting them.
For more details about the services and how they were evaluated, to see the
suggested fee structure, and more background about this initiative, see
