Greetings Everyone:
Congratulations - Great Progress to Date
Over the past few months, you have collectively identified four functional roles at university presses and the activities of each role that involve OA eBook usage data. Using the GroupMap boards, you identified activities asynchronously. These inputs were grouped and discussed over the past two weeks with a number of you via Zoom meetings.
Despite this virtual work occurring at a very busy time for all, we have made incredible progress. On the calls, editorial, sales, and marketing activities were discussed in detail. You have also helped me to refine our approach to exploring use cases within our other OAeBU stakeholder communities.
What's Next
Given the overlap between many of the activities listed on the Sales/Marketing and Editorial Director boards and the Press Director board, Kevin Hawkins and I decided to convert the use cases from across the GroupMap boards into a single google doc to enable another wave of asynchronous contributions by members of this group.
To assist with version control and preserve the contributions made to the GroupMap boards, those boards will be locked to ensure that future edits and contributions are made in the google doc.
Thank you for all you have contributed to date. I look forward to seeing how this evolves over the coming month.
Best regards,
Christina
