DONATE TO EIFL
In this issue, we share news about agreements we’ve signed with two publishers, William S. Hein & Co and De Gruyter. From Africa, we bring you the news that Ethiopia has adopted a national open access policy. We report on the first international workshop for a regional group of librarians on putting the Marrakesh Treaty for print disabled people into practice, which we co-organized with partners. And we have two exciting resources - we’ve updated our DSpace repositories checklist, and we’ve published a new resource for journal editors and publishers, on using Open Journal Systems software.

We celebrated our 20th Anniversary this month, and take this opportunity once again to thank everyone who has contributed to our work over the years. Thank you also for all your good wishes and messages of support. We hope you enjoy the issue. Read about our events.
