Statement of interest.
“I strongly support the mission of the Open Library of Humanities to provide a sustainable, not for profit, diamond Open Access publishing platform for the humanities. My experience working on different Open Access issues, such as the national platform for Swedish Open Access journals, which the National library of Sweden (NLS) has developed and hosts, is directly relevant to the Board’s work. Being a member of the Library Board gives me the opportunity to meet and collaborate with library colleagues from different countries and learn from their experience.”
