It's the @nlisn.bsky.social AGM in a few minutes, so don't forget to join us if you've signed up!

Librarians, assemble! ✊ We're running a short, anonymous survey (10-15 mins) exploring how libraries actually decide whether to fund collective, fee-free open access, or not. Where does the money come from? What evidence carries the most weight? And what happens when the answer is no? Thank you!

Our AGM is happening this week, everyone welcome:
