Knowledge Unlatched
Knowledge Unlatched was established in September 2012 by publisher and social entrepreneur Frances Pinter. Knowledge Unlatched was the formalisation of the ‘Global Library Consortium’ model for supporting open access books, developed by Pinter as a response to a protracted crisis in monograph publishing and the opportunities presented by digital technology and open access.
From the first pilot onwards, OAPEN has been a partner for hosting and disseminating the KU collection. OAPEN also works with KU to provide the OAPEN Library membership program to institutions globally.
