<p class="m_-3833578096226942276MsoNoSpacing">There is increasing discussion amongst institutions, publishers, and funders about open access for books. However, we know from speaking to our authors, and from our recent survey, The Future of OA Books, that many researchers still
feel ill-informed about open access books. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="m_-3833578096226942276MsoNoSpacing">Therefore we are holding two events in the US with the aim to provide an introduction to OA books for academics who are keen to learn more, and to provide an open forum for questions and debate.
