Just as a brief follow-up to Heather's post.<br>
<br>
The relation between platform cooperativism and open access - as
viewed in the context of a number of recent collaborative
developments in open access such as the Radical Librarians
Collective (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://rlc.radicallibrarianship.org">https://rlc.radicallibrarianship.org</a>), the Radical Open
Access Collective (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://radicalopenaccess.disruptivemedia.org.uk">http://radicalopenaccess.disruptivemedia.org.uk</a>),
and the Open Access Publishing Cooperative Study that is ‘bringing
together libraries, journals, societies, presses, funders’ and
others to ‘explore the feasibility of a cooperative alternative in
scholarly publishing’ (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://oa-cooperative.org">http://oa-cooperative.org</a>) - was the subject
of a talk I gave at the 'Why Are We Not Boycotting Academia.edu?'
symposium last December. You can find a video recording of it here,
along with the presentations by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, David Parry
and Pascal Aventurier.<br>

<div>The idea of platform cooperativism looks like it might be
worth exploring as an alternative for social scholarly sharing.
The idea is that contributors are members / partners who have
