As librarians, we support free access to publications in many ways.

All publications within the scope of the congress volume of the journal o-bib will appear in open access. The associations recommend that the presenters also provide all other contributions to BiblioCon, in particular the presentations on the BIB-OPUS server as well as the posters, with the open Creative Commons licence CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.de). To this end, a CC licence reference should be included on the presentation slides and posters. This recommendation applies to all publications on the BIB-OPUS server, even beyond BiblioCon.
