Hi everyone. To add to the OER Funding conversations -- and this is really just brainstorming -- but what about a campaign to flood / pitch to bolster federal programs that provide publishing support? For example:  https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/book-fund/publishing-support.html Note that eligible publishers, in this program anyway, include university presses. Is it too far of a leap to make the case for library publishers to be included as well? As we all know, many libraries are now acting as OA publishers (for stats on that, see  Sonya Betz and Doris Wagner. Exploring the Value of Canada’s Library Publishers.
