It is published by the UCLA American Indian Studies Center (AISC) in the United States and will be published through a new partnership with eScholarship Publishing.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Continues Pledging Season through November 2023 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) is hosting a webinar on October 31, noon (eastern) about the role libraries and Open Access publishing play in advancing the United Nations? Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). * The webinar will take place on Tuesday, October 31st at 12:00 pm (EDT)/ 9:00 am (PDT). * You may follow this link to register. * As with all KU webinars, the session will be recorded and shared with all who register. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all, require global collaboration, knowledge sharing, and equitable access to information. Open Access, which provides unrestricted access to scholarly research and knowledge, has emerged as a powerful tool in advancing these goals. Within the scholarly community, stakeholders such as publishers, researchers, authors, libraries, and institutions collectively play a pivotal role in promoting a sustainable and equitable future. This webinar serves as a testament to the synergy between Open Access and the SDGs, with an emphasis on their transformative potential. The main goal is to elucidate the imperatives guiding publishers and libraries toward supporting Open Access content aligned with the SDGs, both in the present and into the future. In this context, Knowledge Unlatched, a pioneer in Diamond Open Access publishing for a decade, is taking an active stance in embracing the SDGs in 2023. It has strategically integrated these goals into the curation of its well-known collection of multi-disciplinary scholarly books, KU Select, as well as several other noteworthy collections. Libraries can pledge for KU Select and other KU partner collections at the KU website, and find out more about KU?s 2023 pledging options by downloading the KU 10th anniversary (2013-2023) brochure.
