We work in partnership with hundreds of institutions on their open access initiatives and see first-hand the impacts of their efforts. While the report draws on bepress data, the framework and the stories themselves highlight the accomplishments of institutions and their librarians that have advanced open access. We believe they deserve to be recognized for it. </span></p><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><br></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">We enjoy working with UNESCO and very much value their work on open access: they have a broad and inclusive perspective that serves to move the community forward. We’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback on the pre-print of the report and we hope that it inspires other institutions and platforms to follow suit. The community would only be helped by having additional stories of open access impact. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="arial"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;white-space:pre-wrap">Best,</span></font></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="arial"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;white-space:pre-wrap">Promita</span></font></p><div><span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></div></span><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at 8:38 AM, Richard Poynder <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:richard.poynder@gmail.com" target="_blank">richard.poynder@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif"><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000">Thanks for posting this Promita Chatterji. <span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000"><br></font></p>
