Open Access: The Book Challenge
Open Access books are being funded through various experiments including combining open access editions with print/e-book sales, institutional support from organizations like the World Bank and Amherst College, and research funding bodies in countries like the Netherlands, Austria, UK, Germany. Publishers are also implementing author-side publication fees for open access books, and other funding methods include general crowd-funding campaigns and having library consortiums fund books. Additionally, some libraries are collaborating with publishers on open access publishing and engaging in their own library publishing initiatives.
