Knowledge Unlatched frees more academic books and journals in the humanities and social sciences

Knowledge Unlatched is a consortium of libraries and publishers working together to grant open access to scholarly books and journals in the humanities and social sciences. Founded by Frances Pinter in 2012, the initiative has unlatched nearly 500 titles to date and is presently launching its fourth round – KU Select 2017 – with 350 monographs, including both frontlist and backlist titles, and more than 20 journals.

KU team is currently reviewing submitted titles and plans to start the pledging in May 2017. Libraries are now invited to view the collection and pledge for titles at: app.knowledgeunlatched.org. Interested librarians and stakeholders can find answers on the KU Select 2017 central information page.
