We announce a new EIFL Public Library Innovation Award call - for public libraries supporting education recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are happy to report that our open access agreements with publishers are leading to increased publishing in open access in our partner countries. We have updated and revised the EIFL Digital Research Literacy Training Programme Outline for Librarians, which is being very well used. And we welcome the decision by the World Trade Organization to extend international trade law measures which reduce burdens on the poorest countries. You can see our events, past and present, here. Enjoy the issue!
