The OAPEN Foundation operates the following three platforms:
the OAPEN Library which is...
the Directory of OA Books (in partnership with OpenEdition) which is... open to all publishers who meet certain quality assurance standards and licensing policies. Same applies to OAPEN hosting.
and the OAPEN OA Books Toolkit, which is a stakeholder-agnostic, free resource for researchers and authors who want to gain a better understanding of OA books publishing practices and policies and tackle common misconceptions about OA.
We are grateful for the generous support of our stakeholder community who enable us to sustain free access to these services and develop them (or new ones, as I’ll mention in a couple of slides) further
OAPEN and DOAB were jointly selected for the second funding round of SCOSS which enabled us to expand our support.

Also wanted to touch a bit on how infrastructures can support and encourage bibliodiversity. We want to focus on expanding the collection of peer reviewed OA books in languages other than English.
In the same way that we already provide free OA books to libraries and readers globally, we want to enable equitable access to global distribution for book publishers and authors too.
See from the chart the disparity. While we’ve made good progress, more progress needs to be made and this is achieved by working with global partners and publishers to reach other parts of the world and be more representative.
OAPEN and DOAB are well-paced, as global infrastructures, to facilitate this change.
DOAB in Africa: aims to provide equitable access to the discoverability services for all publishers, starting with Africa. Most of the publishers in DOAB come from Europe, North America, and South America.
OBF: seeks to develop the infrastructures, business models, networks and resources that are needed to deliver a future for OA books led by communities of scholars, small-to-medium-sized publishers, not-for-profit infrastructure providers, and scholarly libraries.
