LYRASIS to Become Exclusive North American Membership Partner for Open Library of
Humanities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ATLANTA, January 26, 2015 - LYRASIS is pleased to announce that it has entered into
a partnership to become the exclusive membership and administrative agent for the
Open Library of Humanities in North America. With a strong history of productive
 partnerships in the open access field, including Knowledge Unlatched, Reveal Digital,
and SCOAP3, LYRASIS is at the forefront of the rapidly changing scholarly communications
landscape.

The Mellon-funded Open Library of Humanities offers a new, extremely cost-effective
and equitable business model for journals to achieve gold open access in the humanities
sphere. Rather than concentrating the burden of payment on the individual authors
or their institution when work is accepted (as do many existing publishers), the
 OLH is supported by a consortium of libraries who all share the cost. In this way,
we can fairly pay for the labor of publishing on a not-for-profit basis while also
ensuring that anyone whose work meets the high-standards of peer review can be published
with no author fee.

Of the new partnership, Dr. Martin Paul Eve, one of the founders and academic project
directors of the OLH, said: "We are extremely pleased to be working with LYRASIS
 to reach potential library partners in the United States. We are only at the beginning
of a long journey; it takes a great deal of work to build successful, mission-driven
publishers. With the ever-growing support that we are receiving from libraries and
academics worldwide, though, the desire for a new route is clear. We greatly look
forward to working with LYRASIS and its members to build a bright, open access future
for the humanities disciplines."

"OLH is engaged in important work for humanities scholarship," said Kate Nevins,
 the Executive Director of LYRASIS. "This program provides an opportunity for libraries
to engage in a transformative model that will have a significant impact on scholarly
communications. LYRASIS welcomes the opportunity to partner with OLH and gather 
community support for their mission."

About Open Library of Humanities

The Open Library of Humanities provides a platform for open access publishing that
is sustainable, archived, non-profit, innovative, and provides reputable content
 that is respected through rigorous peer review. Since the majority of research 
in the humanities is only funded by institutional time, Article Processing Charges
to authors are not viable for these disciplines. The OLH provides an alternative
 model of Library Partnership Subsidies to fund the program through community support.
