Summary:
"Knowledge Unlatched (KU) is delighted to inform you that it will run a second round of unlatching Humanities and Social Sciences titles, with changes to the execution of the model as a result of feedback from libraries. This follows on from the success of the KU proof-of-concept Pilot, where it was demonstrated that global communities of monograph stakeholders are eager to work together in new ways to secure positive change for monograph markets, and an open future for long-form publications. For a full report on the Pilot that ended in 2014, see the Downloads section on our website. We have now identified a number of issues that require attention before embarking on fully scaling up KU. This second round will offer more books from more publishers and test the offering of small subject packages rather than a fixed bundle of books (no 'big deals'). Here is an outline of Round Two."
