SCOAP3

In the last two weeks nine more U.S. libraries have expressed their support to the SCOAP³ initiative:

Allegheny College
Auburn University
Bowdoin College
Southern Illinois University Carbondale
University of Alabama at Birmingham
University of Maryland
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Vanderbilt University
Wayne State University

Over 150 U.S. libraries and library consortia have pledged over 3.1 Million dollars to the SCOAP³ initiative. Worldwide, SCOAP³ partners in 23 countries collectively pledged 6.8 Million Euros. These pledges represent over two thirds of the SCOAP³ funding envelope, and the initiative is getting close to its next steps to convert to Open Access the entire literature of the field of High-Energy Physics.

Several more U.S. libraries are now considering supporting SCOAP³, which needs help from libraries of all sizes to bring change in scholarly communication: the SPARC and ACRL FAQs give details on how to help.
