This Working Group was part of LIBER’s 2013-2017 Strategy.

The most important achievement of the group was the publication of 5 Principles for Open Access Negotiations With Publishers. Open Access remains an important topic for LIBER, and the group is therefore continuing its work as part of our 2018-2022 Strategy. For more information, please see the Open Access Working Group page.
