Open Access 2020
Transformation Workshop, 5-7 June 2018
For librarians and consortia staff looking to take pro-active steps to drive the transition of scholarly communications to open access.
This workshop, featuring special guest presenters and Max Planck Digital Library staff with over 10 years of experience in developing OA strategies and workflows, empowers participants with a clear
understanding of the essential role librarians play in driving the transition of scholarly communications from the subscription system to open access publishing. Covering multiple strategies but with a strong focus on transformational agreements (ie offsetting,
read and publish, etc.), participants will learn strategic and practical approaches to help them
create and implement their own local
OA2020 roadmap
and have impact on a global scale. Now in its third iteration, the workshop is a fantastic opportunity to share experiences and learn best practice in managing and leading the transition to Open Access.
Participants of previous workshops had this to say:
“Excellent level of detail and depth of topics covered – each part related to the other. It was perfect!”
“Most useful workshop I have attended. Invaluable knowledge & new insights. Good tools, contacts and methods”

licensing of electronic resources and/or open access. No previous experience with transformative agreements is required.
Fees: There is no registration fee for the workshop, but participants are asked to provide for their own travel and accommodation.
The workshop is highly interactive; places are therefore limited and will be granted on a first come-first serve basis.
