Look Before You Donate! It's that magical time of year when you may be thinking about making a few financial donations to help your community.... Don't forget two things: (1) Before you donate, make good decisions about the financial quality of the organization. You can quickly and easily look them up on GuideStar. This will tell you how much of the money you donate actually serves their mission. Or more importantly, how much it does not. https://lnkd.in/gvWcJjeM (2) Chose wisely. There are thousands of great local organizations. Look them up! Look for this seal before you give.

We've recently been interviewing some of the 3,278 readers who've contacted us to share what having free access to one of University of Michigan Press's books has meant to them. The stories have inspired me, intrigued me, and sometimes made me cry. You can learn more about our project to speak with real OA book readers here: https://lnkd.in/gSguxmnp. I know that almost 2,741,088 accesses from over 229 countries and territories is a big number, and we love sharing our Book Analytics Service public dashboard (https://lnkd.in/gFhGnYA2). It's also exciting to see the monthly growth, jumping to over 100,000 accesses in March. But it's that human connection that makes all the difference. If some of the voices resonate with you, I hope you'll support our work. Charles ---------------- Here are a few snippets. You can read more responses here: https://bit.ly/3ICn7MK "I am a first-generation student working part-time on top of a full course load. Having to spend tens to hundreds of dollars to access articles and scholarly books would make writing research papers next to impossible for me. Seeing that a source I need is open-access or otherwise available for free takes a great burden off my shoulders." "Please make more materials open-access. It would help world scholarship a lot. I am from the Philippines and much of our research would be better informed if we had access to more materials." "I am such a big fan of this being available to me without having to go through a login or paywall. It is 4am and I am crying Real Human Tears. My day has been made. Thank you." "Read FT, NY Times, Wash post regular basis. That's just today's news. Your collection should give understanding what is under today's headlines. The background matters." "I'm not an academic and it's purely for personal interest. Since I no longer have a connection to a university or university library and academic books tend to be ludicrously expensive and beyond my budget for just a hobby read, the fact that it's free online is the only reason I would have access to this information, so thanks for making an accessible option." "I'd like to thank the University of Michigan Press web-site for such help for my job! Such a beautiful and useful book for scholars is available for free - it's really important nowadays. University people and scholars from the whole world need to have an open-access and easy-sharing of their materials with each other. So, once again, thank you all for such an opportunity!" "As a person with visual impairment, I found the book contents accessible with my screen reading software." "Have open-access books is pivotal for our student population, many of whom come from low-resource communities and often find textbooks cost-prohibitive to completing courses and academic credits successfully. "
