LIBER, Europe’s leading association of research libraries, presents Five
Principles for libraries to use when conducting Open Access negotiations
with publishers.

The principles are based on the experiences of LIBER libraries in the past
two years, and aim to guide libraries and consortia as they shift from a
reader-pays model (subscription licensing) to an author-pays model based on
Article Processing Charges (APC).

With these principles, research libraries are encouraged to make the move
from paying for information access to organizing the publishing costs for
their researchers.
