The OBC Supporter Programme enables institutions to support the OBC in its own right, as infrastructure. Contributions will extend our advocacy for scholar-led, community-governed open access books and underpin collaborative projects, such as the impact dashboard we are developing with the Open Journals Collective. This programme allows us to fund new work without increasing the share taken from the funds that go to our publishers and service providers.
