The Springer and Wiley prepay open access agreements are on track to reach cap by approximately early November. Once a prepay open access agreement has reached cap, this means that authors have three choices:
- pay the APC to publish their article open access
- publish their article closed access
- make an application for support for funds from the Library’s open access fund
CAUL strongly prefers to enter into uncapped agreements with publishers wherever possible for this reason.

Thanks Tim.
Is a message going out to LLOs about this? Or should we SLs alert those departments likely to be affected?

I’ll send something out to the LLOs as well John.
