Summary:
"JSTOR, the Latin Americanist Research Resources Project (LARRP), and Libreria Garcia Cambeiro have released 100 Open Access titles from the highly respected Argentine publisher, Prometeo Editorial. Now globally accessible on JSTOR, these books span the humanities and social sciences with an emphasis on Argentina and Latin America, filling an important gap in openly accessible scholarship.
The availability of this scholarship is the result of an innovative multi-year collaboration wherein Libreria Garcia Cambeiro leads publisher relations and rights management with Latin American publishers, JSTOR publishes the ebooks to its platform, supports their use, and ensures their long-term preservation, and LARRP members and additional supporting libraries provide funding to defray costs for JSTOR, Librería García Cambeiro, and the publishers to make the books openly accessible. This latest work with Prometeo builds off the success of the group’s earlier CLACSO ebook pilot which made 200 titles open access."
