DONATE TO EIFL
We are delighted to announce that the EIFL General Assembly will take place in the world’s newest library building, Qatar National Library. We have launched a new EIFL Public Library Innovation Award, and are hoping to attract top quality applications from across the world - so please help us share the call. We have renewed our agreement with Sage Publications for another three years, benefiting scholars in 31 EIFL partner countries. And we can bring you news and comment on two proposed copyright treaties that have important implications for access to knowledge. We hope you enjoy the issue. Read about our past and future events.
