Criteria • Whose objectives are not being met? • What are the actual and potential resources? • What is the environment (political, technical, legal, etc. in which the solution must operate?
Higher education has a compelling need to reassert its control over scholarly publishing and also has the technical means for doing so.
We need to work on the financial, cultural and political issues.
We’ve assembled some of the best and brightest for this Workshop to tackle these issues!
