Seasons greetings from the EIFL team! In this issue, we mark 15 years of the EIFL Copyright and Libraries Programme and share an interview with the Programme Manager, Teresa Hackett. We are happy to report that the MERAL national open access portal has been enthusiastically embraced by Myanmar’s research community. The EIFL-PLIP team shares inspiration from the Occupy Library 2020 conference on public library innovation. And we are delighted to bring you news about five new agreements negotiated by our Licensing Programme that will benefit authors and libraries in our partner countries. You can read about our past and future events here. Enjoy the issue, all the best for the holiday season, and happy New Year!
