Thank you to #CAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians) for their hard work arranging Read and Publish agreements with publishers - meaning we can publish #OpenAccess for free! Librarians are heroes.

My University of Melbourne library blog post on our 2023 #OpenAccess publishing agreements is now live. It aims to not just highlight our new and continuing agreements, most of which are #ReadAndPublish agreements negotiated by #CAUL, but to contextualise these alongside other pathways to open access, including open access journals (many of which don't charge APCs), Subscribe to Open (S2O) journals, and our institutional repository.
