Making Open Access Work

 
Knowledge Unlatched (KU) makes scholarly content freely available to everyone and contributes to the further development of the Open Access (OA) infrastructure. Our online marketplace provides libraries and institutions worldwide with a central place to support OA collections and models from leading publishing houses and new OA initiatives. With their support we transition monographs and journals in a wide variety of disciplines from paywalled to Open Access content. Additionally, KU offers various tools and services for stakeholders in the OA community. Our goal is simple: We want to make Open Access work!

Canadian libraries have been long-time supporters of Open Access. Nearly 30 institutions have supported our collections in the past few years. These six lead the way in 2019. Canadian libraries that want to pledge support this year, please note that our deadline is November 30.
