This week we're attending the PALOMERA final conference in #Ljubljana, Slovenia, which marks the official conclusion of the project’s activities. For the last two years #PALOMERA has sought to understand why so few open access funder policies include books, and to provide actionable recommendations to change this. As a project partner, we're excited to take part in today’s conference where the project's work since January 2023 will be presented, showcasing key results and offering a deep dive into the recommendations the project is making. On top of today’s public event, there will be a day of closed events tomorrow to engage research funders. The aim is to make sure #OABooks are on the agenda of policymakers and funders. Going forward, LIBER will work to disseminate the PALOMERA policy recommendations, with particular focus on guidelines for libraries. As key stakeholders in mainstreaming Open Access book publishing, libraries are vital actors!
