The Open Access Tracking Project tracks OA-related news about jobs (tag “oa.jobs”) and books (tag “oa.books”). A boolean feed of items with both tags shows jobs related to OA books: http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/item_search?q=%23oa.jobs+%23oa.books
All OATP feeds are crowd-sourced and updated in real time. You can make them more comprehensive by tagging the OA-related news and comment you encounter. Here’s how to get started or see what’s involved.
