U Cal has published an open-access guide

In April, the University of California system walked away from negotiations with journal publisher Elsevier. The university was keener on making its authors’ articles available open-access than the publisher, CMM March 4.  A month later UCal did a deal with more amenable Cambridge University Press, CMM April 12.

Universities ask how it was done and so UCal is telling them, publishing a  tool-kit on negotiating with publishers.
