Hello again! I got the proofs earlier this week. There aren’t too many things to respond to, but I will be going through the MS thoroughly after I have dealt with the comments and requests.
Now it’s in production the book has its own page! Head over to the Edward Elgar site to see it. All being well it’ll be out in May. I think it’ll mainly find its way to university / college libraries.
Now, as a librarian do I teach about OA- yes! Do I recommend it- yes! Would I have liked the book to be OA? Yes, but I’m not sure I’d have secured funding for it. Were I to write another book, I’d look at the OA possibilities for sure, including the diamond options that are available.
I will be looking into whether I can make a chapter available on our repository, at least between now ish and when the book appears.
