DONATE TO EIFL
In this issue, we share news about the second call for proposals to enhance the quality and strengthen the sustainability of no-fee (Diamond) open access (OA) publishing in Africa. The call is part of a three-year project that started in November 2023 with funding from Wellcome. Also in relation to this project, we have developed a new guide with best practices, policies and templates to support quality publishing of Diamond OA journals. The EIFL Public Library Innovation Programme team is pleased to share a new series of ‘Small Bites’ training videos for public librarians and public library trainers. We welcome positive developments in copyright in Malawi, and share details about our renewed agreement with Taylor & Frances, which benefits many thousands of scholars in our partner countries. See our events here. Enjoy the issue!
