ALPSP: An Update On Access to Research

The Access to Research initiative gives public library users across the UK free access to over 15 million academic articles. Attend this webinar to find out how the initiative came about, what the implications are for existing publishing business models, and why it is important for publishers to continue to get involved to further expand public access to academic content.

The agenda will cover: background to Access to Research (what it is and how it works); the current picture (usage, titles, regions); publisher and librarian collaboration; a summary of the independent report into the service; and looking to the future.

This webinar is for anyone with responsibility for publishing strategy, open access, content distribution, rights and licensing including managers and directors in operations, global rights, legal affairs and publishing departments.
