The latest from UKSG Insights "Thema and world needs: exploring bibliodiversity through open access book subjects" by Ronald Snijder of @OAPENbooksdub.sh/Vwt7mBw
ALT Bibliodiversity is mostly studied based on publication languages or the imbalance of the means of knowledge production and dissemination. This article explores the concept of bibliodiversity by analysing the consumption of open access books across different regions and examines the subjects of interest using the Thema classification system. The study deploys social network analysis to investigate affiliations between countries and book classifications, identifying clusters of shared interests. The results point to a correlation between regional proximity and subject interest.
One day to go until the #ALMASI launch! The EU-funded project seeks to develop a nonprofit, high-quality, and sustainable scholarly communication ecosystem across Africa, Europe, and Latin America. Watch the livestream Tuesday 14 January @ 14:00 CET: tinyurl.com/yc45nedb

Fun to look back at the surge in usage that @UofMPress books experienced in 2024 as our "Fund to Mission" #openaccess program (see video) gains momentum. 10,000 accesses per OA book on average, but human reader stories are the best. ebc.press.umich.edu/stories/…
Currently, DOAB and OAPEN Library are responding slower than expected. We are working on upgrading the internal search engine. This might take several hours: we expect this to finish around 7:00 CET
