Open Access information resources from CAUL

Some useful resources from CAUL to share:

Key information for library staff

We have developed an FAQ-style document containing key information for library staff about CAUL Read & Publish agreements based on questions received to date. This includes some suggestions for communicating with academics about the agreements.

Read & Publish agreement resources for Open Access Week

CAUL has developed two slides that you might like to use in Open Access Week presentations. The first is an overview of key messages about the agreements, and the second is aimed at communicating about R&P agreements with researchers.

The second slide includes a section that you can customise by adding your institution’s name and the R&P agreements that your institution participates in.

You are welcome to modify these slides, add branding etc.  Download a PDF version or a PowerPoint version.
