Open Ebooks Coming to Project MUSE: An Interview with Wendy Queen

It seems that we hear about new efforts to reposition the scholarly monograph for an open environment almost every day: services such as Knowledge Unlatched, programs like Luminos, imprints like Lever Press, and research such as “Mapping the Free Ebook Supply Chain”. AAU, AAUP, and ARL have taken a collective interest, not “as a response to a crisis in either the humanities or in publishing [but to] establish a sustainable publishing workflow designed to expand access to and engagement with humanities scholarship.” If you are not already directly engaged, this is at least a space worth watching.
