D2O hace que los libros profesionales y académicos pasen de un modelo de compra basado únicamente en el mercado, en el que los particulares y las bibliotecas compran libros electrónicos individuales, a un modelo de acceso abierto apoyado por las bibliotecas. En lugar de comprar un título una vez para una sola colección, las bibliotecas tienen la oportunidad de financiarlo una sola vez para todo el mundo a través de las cuotas de los participantes.
Hasta la fecha, más de 195 bibliotecas y consorcios de todo el mundo se han comprometido a apoyar la iniciativa D2O. The Press también ha firmado acuerdos de licencia y facturación con Big Ten Academic Alliance; Council of Australian University Librarians; Center for Research Libraries; Greater Western Library Alliance; Northeast Research Libraries; Jisc; y Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration and Innovation.
Todas las bibliotecas que se han comprometido a apoyar Direct to Open para 2022 reciben acceso a todos los títulos incluidos en el modelo para el año natural. Los interesados aún están a tiempo de sumar el apoyo de su institución, disfrutar de los beneficios exclusivos de la participación y ayudar a la prensa a alcanzar su objetivo de financiar completamente el modelo en 2022 y abrir toda su lista de publicaciones académicas. La fecha límite para los compromisos es el 30 de junio.

The full list of Spring titles opened through the support of D2O participating libraries is available at mitpress.mit.edu/direct-to-open.
D2O moves professional and scholarly books from a solely market-based, purchase model, where individuals and libraries buy single eBooks, to a collaborative, library-supported open access model. Instead of purchasing a title once for a single collection, libraries have the opportunity to fund them one time for the world through participant fees.
To date, over 195 libraries and consortia from around the globe have committed to support the D2O initiative. The Press has also entered into licensing and invoicing agreements with Big Ten Academic Alliance; Council of Australian University Librarians; Center for Research Libraries; Greater Western Library Alliance; Northeast Research Libraries; Jisc; and Partnership for Academic Library Collaboration and Innovation.
All libraries that have committed to support Direct to Open for 2022 receive access to all of the titles included in the model for the calendar year. For those who are interested, there’s still time to add your institution’s support, enjoy exclusive participation benefits, and help the Press reach its goal of fully funding the model in 2022 and opening all of its scholarly frontlist. The deadline for commitments is June 30.
