Event Description:
At the CNI meeting in December 2017 and the ALA Midwinter meeting in February 2018, SPARC convened members-only events on the topic of 'Community-Controlled Infrastructure for Scholarly Communication'. SPARC’s ED, Heather Joseph, spoke about the current trends and developments in the infrastructure space that she was seeing, and hosted discussions on exactly what was meant by the term "community-controlled infrastructure.”
There was agreement from the membership that this was an area appropriate for SPARC to further engage on, and subsequent to those conversations, SPARC secured respected market analyst Claudio Aspesi to produce a comprehensive analysis of commercial strategies in infrastructure across the higher education sector. He was tasked with helping us identify key areas of vulnerability, and to highlight specific points of potential community leverage.
After working extensively with the SPARC team, and conducting interviews with dozens of key stakeholders including provosts, CIO’s, library leaders, higher education administrators, publishers, and other market experts, we are pleased to announce that we are at a point in time where Claudio is able to report out his findings.
