Members are invited to register for, "How For-Profit Companies Can Be a Part of the Open Environment.” In this webinar, we'll explore how for-profit business models can be compatible while participating in the Open Access revolution. Please join us to hear from Brian Hole, Ubiquity; Andrew Smeal, Hindawi, and Anita Bandrowski, SciCrunch as they discuss their organizations' roles in the world of open scholarly infrastructure and how their work can benefit the scholarly communication community while both keeping open the infrastructure that they provide and operating in a for-profit mode.
