Greetings, 

I would like to draw your attention to today's press release: 

Press Release: HARRASSOWITZ & OA Switchboard Partnership 

Wiesbaden, Germany & The Hague, The Netherlands -  August 5, 2024.  
HARRASSOWITZ, a leading provider of scholarly periodicals and e-resources 
for academic libraries, is pleased to announce it is a Certified Partner 
of OA Switchboard, a safe place for publication metadata which simplifies 
the sharing of information between publishers, institutions and funders.  
This partnership will enable HARRASSOWITZ and OA Switchboard to further 
explore opportunities for integration of publishing data in Fokus, the 
HARRASSOWITZ system for acquisition and management of scholarly resources. 
Merging subscription data with detailed information about their 
institution's publication output will provide libraries with a more 
comprehensive overview and help them in their internal reporting efforts. 

Monika Schneider, Director of Publisher Relations at HARRASSOWITZ: 
“We are delighted to announce our collaboration with OA Switchboard, a 
partnership that embodies our commitment to excellence and innovation. By 
joining forces, we are able to offer our clients unparalleled support and 
resources as they become experts in their institution's open access 
initiatives. This collaboration will enable our clients to lead the way in 
promoting open access and academic transparency and strengthen our shared 
commitment to the advancement of knowledge and discovery. Combining 
HARRASSOWITZ’s impeccable record keeping of subscription history together 
with reliable data about publishing at an institution will allow us to 
even further support libraries in their budget planning and provide deeper 
and richer analyses.“  

Yvonne Campfens, Executive Director OA Switchboard:
“The OA Switchboard standardized protocol allows for the transparent 
exchange of data about OA publications, designed to operate and integrate 
with all stakeholder systems. We are very pleased that HARRASSOWITZ 
supports the concept and initiative, and will enable their clients to 
benefit from ingesting relevant metadata in their established systems to 
enhance efficiency and transparency."

HARRASSOWITZ looks forward to expanding its cooperation with OA 
Switchboard as the global market transitions from subscription-based 
reading to contractually-based Open Access publishing all the while 
continuing to provide gold standard service to libraries, publishers, and 
consortia world-wide. HARRASSOWITZ will also participate on the OA 
Switchboard Advisory Group, consisting of individuals and representatives 
of stakeholder groups who contribute by expertise and/or financial 
donation.
