From Access to Impact: Practical Applications for OA in Public Libraries
Between library budget cuts and the increased need for quality information, Open Access (OA) is no longer just a nice idea—it's a practical necessity. But what does OA adoption look like from a real-world perspective?
Learn more in this free, 30-minute webinar.
Together, we will examine how OA can:
- Boost community outreach and engagement
- Enhance reference services and support lifelong learners
- Improve programs and services
- Become an intentional part of a data-driven collection development strategy
Public libraries aren’t just a place to check out books and eBooks. They are the cornerstones of their communities, offering critical digital resources, access to technology, and welcoming spaces to learn and collaborate. Let us show you how CloudSource OA—a unique discovery platform for every library—can make meeting the evolving needs of your community just a little easier. Register today.
