===============================================================

NISO will be holding a two-part webinar on March 5 and 12 to discuss 
*The Infrastructure of Open Access*. Open Access (OA) has become a 
widely accepted and rapidly growing method of publishing scholarly 
content. As OA distribution gains traction, a high priority for the 
community is establishing and building the infrastructure needed to 
efficiently manage this content. This infrastructure includes such 
elements as OA publication charge management by third parties, fee 
structures and payments, visual and machine-readable identification of 
OA availability and reuse rights, and discovery layer functions.

Part 1 will discuss *Knowing What is Open*. In Part 2, speakers will 
explore how we can move *Toward a Functioning Business Ecosystem*. You 
can register for either or both parts. There is a 25% discount to 
registrants of both parts.

*ABOUT PART 1: KNOWING WHAT IS OPEN*

When content is published by a strictly Open Access publisher or in a 
completely open access online journal, knowing what is freely available 
to read by the user can be fairly obvious. This is less clear for hybrid 
titles, where open access is set at an article-by-article level. Even 
when a journal is fully open access, mechanisms are necessary for 
conveying the OA status of articles and their reuse rights to other 
systems, such as discovery platforms. This webinar, *Knowing What is 
Open*, will  discuss just what it means to say content is "open access," 
what the various flavors of OA are, and how people and other systems can 
determine how open something is and both discover and access such 
content. Issues around license rights, the scale of openness, and the 
application of this data in discovery contexts will also be covered.

Topics and speakers are:

  * *Setting the Stage: How Open is Open Access?* -- /Darlene Yaplee/,
    Chief Marketing Officer, PLOS
  * *Untangling Open Access Issues in Scholarly Communication/-- /*/Greg
    Tananbaum/, Consultant; NISO Open Access Metadata and Indicators
    Working Group Co-Chair*//*
  * *The Lifecycle of Open Access Content/-- /*/Susan Dunavan/, Senior
    Product Manager, SIPX, and /Franny Lee/, Co-Founder & VP Business
    Development, SIPX

*ABOUT PART 2: TOWARD A FUNCTIONING BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM*

As Open Access is rapidly growing, the need to improve the business 
models and relationships to create a functional ecosystem becomes more 
critical. The past economic models and workflows were established based 
on a subscription model. OA revenue models are typically based on author 
publication charges, creating a more complicated workflow, and it is 
questionable whether the new OA business practices can sustain 
themselves at the scale of expected article output. Invariably, 
third-party processers will need to help manage the institutional 
relationships, the billing and payment processing necessary, and likely 
other elements of the required business ecosystem for Open Access.

The second part of NISO's two-part series on the Infrastructure of Open 
Access will discuss how to create a *Functioning Business Ecosystem*. 
Speakers will explore the infrastructure elements that some community 
members are putting into place, discuss what is working and what isn't, 
and identify problems that remain to be solved.

Topics and speakers are:

  * *Copyright Clearance Center: Open Access & APC Management//*-- /Roy
    S. Kaufman/, Managing Director of New Ventures, Copyright Clearance
    Center (CCC)
  * *The Sustainability of Open Access//*-- /Cameron Neylon/, Advocacy
    Director at the Public Library of Science (PLOS)
  * *Open Access Business Models for Publicly-Funded Research* --
    /Frederick Friend/, Honorary Director Scholarly Communication,
    University College London
