SCOAP3is rapidly gaining momentum: within a few months, many European countries have expressed their interest in joining the consortium and many moreare expected to follow suit in the coming months, with more and moreawareness rising in the rest of the world. Over a third of the requiredbudget envelope has already been pledged or will be pledged shortly.But without broad consensusand involvement from the leading US libraries and library consortia,SCOAP3cannot happen.
Therefore, we would like to invite representatives of US libraries andUS library consortia to a US SCOAP3focal meeting at the University of California at Berkeley on February29, 2008. This is an opportunity for individual libraries andlibrary consortia to learn more about this unique initiative. The goalof this event is to explain the SCOAP3 model objectives andimplementation and to bring together our insight and experience tounderstand how a re- direction of subscriptions toward SCOAP3 might be achieved.
On February 29, 2008 the University of California at Berkeley hosted the U.S. SCOAP3 focal meeting, aimed at fostering broad consensus and involvement from the leading U.S. libraries and library consortia to make SCOAP3 happen. The slides presented at the meeting and the list of participants and the Participating institutions are presented here.
