Breakout sessions (Group C) - Presentation 11 - Transforming decision-making in the library: The University of Nottingham perspective on Read and Publish agreements

This Breakout session explores the work of UoN Libraries’ Read & Publish Group (R&P Group) in reviewing and managing Transitional Agreements (TAs), balancing budgetary costs and providing access to resources whilst also maximising publishing opportunities for our researchers.

University of Nottingham Libraries are committed to supporting Plan S principles and adopting Transitional Agreements (or Transformative Agreements). There is an inherent tension between the Read and Publish aspects of TAs, and a new approach was required to manage these very different and sometimes competing priorities in a challenging and competitive research and teaching environment.
