two years, at least 50 academic books in various disciplines will be made freely
available through the internet upon publication. Academic publishers will
receive a publication fee for the Open Access edition. The project, called
OAPEN-NL, aims to gain experience with this new publishing model for books and
to gather data about the effects of Open Access book publishing. The books will
be collected in the OAPEN Library (<A
href="http://www.oapen.org/">www.oapen.org</A>) that was launched last week at
the <st1:place w:st="on">Frankfurt</st1:place> Book
Fair.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></B></P>

OAPEN (Open Access Publishing in European Networks) in collaboration with NWO
(Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research) and SURFfoundation
(Netherlands Alliance for innovation in Higher Education and Research). The
project is financed with support from the government (through the national ICT
programme PRIMA) and NWO. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
