Collective actors: libraries supporting open access without author charges (Wayfinders #7)

"OASPA is pleased to announce our next Wayfinders webinar, which will distill library perspectives on supporting non-author-fee models for open access (OA). The conversation will unpack questions geared towards practical help for libraries and publishing organisations, such as:

• How do libraries choose which OA titles and programs to support? • What do libraries investing in models of OA that do not charge author-facing fees most need and want to know in order to lend their financial support? • In a time of shrinking budgets and instability, what motivates libraries to find funding for these types of approaches to OA?  

• What challenges do libraries need to overcome in supporting such OA programmes, across all content types?"
