DONATE TO EIFL
In our first issue of 2026, we congratulate four winners of the 19th EIFL Public Library Innovation Award. We share three new resources created by the EIFL Open Access Programme, among them an updated version of our extremely popular checklist of good practices in using Open Journal Systems (OJS) software for journal editing and publishing. Welcome news from Europe - the EC is proposing a new Act that will help to tackle obstacles to science and research and ensure the free circulation of scientific knowledge in Europe. And we’ve renewed four agreements with publishers that will benefit many thousands of scholars in our partner countries. See our events here. Enjoy the issue!
