WE ARE MEMBERS OF SPARC AND SUBSCRIBE TO SOME OF THEIR OA PUBLICATIONS.
EARLHAM IS A CHARTER MEMBER OF THE OA IMPRINT, LEVER PRESS.

We are key members of the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana PALNI Consortium. There are two broad PALNI OA strategies with tactics therein:

1. Affordable Education Initiatives
The PALNI Collections Management Policy Team is using PALNI funds to acquire ebooks with unlimited concurrent use that are suitable for course use to lower costs for students. Another project provides access to over 27,000 JSTOR ebooks through June 30, 2018 that are DRM free and also suitable for concurrent use. PALNI is also organizing for an Affordable Education Initiatives program with a joint task force under Scholarly Communications and Instructional Technology to organize and support the creation and adoption of open/affordable educational materials.

2. Open Access Publishing
PALNI provides its supported institutions with capacity to create and host open access publications via the PALNI Press. We administer and support instances of Open Journal Systems and Open Monograph Press, which are open source platforms developed by the Public Knowledge Project. Also in development is the consortial institutional repository PALNI Scholar, where institutions may share their academic outputs openly with the world. Send an email or schedule a meeting to learn more.
