DONATE TO EIFL
Seasons greetings from the EIFL team! In this issue, we share news about three new agreements signed with publishers to access their content, and agreements opening opportunities for authors from EIFL partner countries to publish in open access. We look back at a decade of transforming public libraries as the EIFL Public Library Innovation Programme turns 10. We update you about our contribution to open access in Zimbabwe, and about the progress of negotiations at WIPO for an international instrument on copyright exceptions and limitations. You can read about our past and future events. Enjoy the issue, and all the best for the holiday season!

PUBLISHING FOR AUTHORS FROM EIFL PARTNER COUNTRIES
To increase the number of articles accessible in open access, EIFL adopted new principles for negotiations with publishers. Our agreements with publishers include both access to their content and publishing articles in open access. Authors from EIFL partner countries can benefit from waivers and discounted Article Processing Charges (APCs) when publishing in De Gruyter, Edward Elgar, Sage and Taylor and Francis journals.
