The OAPEN Library has introduced a new service for supporting libraries: MEMO (Metadata Export Module for Open access books). With this tool, it is possible to define a tailored selection of open access books, using a combination of title, keywords, classification, language publication year and more. This selection can be made available to the library in many export formats, either standardized or build to measure.
This tool might be helpful for libraries that want to manage additions to their collection, instead of adding the whole contents of the OAPEN Library.
