LIANZA TELSIG & CAUL: ADVANCING OPEN ACCESS THROUGH PROCUREMENT AND STRATEGYWednesday July 13 at 12NOON - 1PM
Over the past several years, the Council of Australian University Librarians has committed to progressing the open access agenda through strategic procurement activities and its Advancing Open Scholarship strategic program. Since 2019, CAUL has pursued transformative agreements with publishers and has to date negotiated 15 transformative agreements for Australian university libraries. The read and publish agreements include deals with small, mid-sized, and large publishers, reflecting CAUL's commitment to support a diverse open publishing environment. In tandem with the strategic procurement program, CAUL's Advancing Open Scholarship program has focused on strategic advocacy at a national level in addition to undertaking practical projects that support open research practice. In this presentation, Angus Cook (Director, Content Procurement) and Kate Davis (Director, Strategy & Analytics) will provide an update on CAUL's recent work in the open-access space.
