Collaboratories: Connecting Researchers How to facilitate choice, design and uptake of online research collaborations
This report aims to assist the research community, including support staff, in the choice, design
and uptake of online collaboratories. It was commissioned jointly by SURFfoundation and SURFnet.
SURFfoundation wanted an instrument to assist and advise researchers in their search for and
choice of an online collaborative environment as an outcome of the SURFshare programme;
SURFnet wanted input for its Collaboration Infrastructure (COIN) project. This two-pronged
approach to the study has made it a wide-ranging one. It covers the spectrum from technical detail
and functional aspects to organisational, managerial and cultural issues involved in setting up
collaboratories.

Overview of Open Access Models for eBooks in the Humanities and Social Sciences :
A new survey of Open Access book publishing confirms a wide variety of approaches, as well as a continuing search for the optimal publishing- and business models. While Open Access is still in an experimental phase of trying out new models, and tracking the readers’ online and offline preferences to gauge the best way forward, some trends and patterns have started to emerge.
