  Dear colleagues,

Wednesday, June 27, 2012: *The Confederation of Open Access Repositories
(COAR)* is pleased to announce the formation of the *Open Access Agreements
and Licenses Task Force.  *
          This is a multi-stakeholder Task Force initiated and supported by
COAR (Confederation of Open Access Repositories), with members representing
a number of different types of organizations (libraries, licensing
agencies, library associations, and open access groups) with a common
interest in promoting sustainable and effective practices for open access. The
Task Force aims to review and assess the growing number of open access
agreements being implemented between publishers and research institutions.**
**

As the momentum for open access grows, publishers and libraries are
developing new mechanisms to support open access.  “In this rapidly
evolving environment, it can be challenging to keep up with the range of
open access agreements available”, says Kathleen Shearer, Canadian
Association of Research Libraries and Chair of the Task Force. “We hope
that this Task Force will help the scholarly community gain a better
understanding of the current landscape and assist them in making the best
choices when considering entering into open access agreements with
publishers.”

The Task Force aims to have preliminary recommendations available for
October 2012. More information about the Task Force is available on the
COAR website:

Best wishes,

Alicia López Medina
COAR Executive Director
