Looking ahead to 2022, we reaffirm our commitment to Open Access, achieved through multiple routes. Research libraries across Europe serve a diverse range of communities, and can face many different situations and challenges. We stand the best chance of being inclusive and helping OA to grow when we offer as many Open Access options as possible.
We will continue to encourage our research libraries to support Open Access and will help them in this quest by continuing to share knowledge and resources across our network.
