Summary:

"In response, libraries and university presses have begun to experiment with participatory, community-funded approaches that move beyond author- or funder-paid open access. Among these, Direct to Open (D2O) and Path to Open represent significant attempts to realign monograph publishing with the values of open knowledge.

In this article we will explore how these models work, the impact they have, and the particular role they offer libraries."
