There is still a great deal of uncertainty surrounding transformational agreements, especially in the United States. It’s important for Librarians to know what to ask when approaching transformational agreements, how OA fits with institutional missions and objectives, and how to know when your institution is ready.

You’re invited to an interactive discussion April 26, 10am ET from Wiley and Library Journal to learn more and ask questions about how institutions can prepare for open access and transformational agreements. 

Join OA experts Keith Webster, Dean of University Libraries at Carnegie Mellon University, and Lorna Stimson, Publishing Director at Wiley. Drawing on their extensive knowledge of transformational agreements, they will discuss the set of conditions that are optimal for a transformational agreement and how to select a publishing partner.
