Re-thinking the economics of legal publishing in Australia: Webinar

By

AustLII, in conjunction with Open Access Australasia, is presenting a free webinar on the topic Re-thinking the economics of legal publishing in Australia

Tuesday 19 October, 9am Perth Time

Australian university libraries currently spend significant amounts on subscriptions to the main commercial legal services, via traditional subscription models. 

In this presentation AustLII's Philip Chung & Andrew Mowbray will discuss how AustLII is seeking to develop a ‘post-transformative agreement’ with libraries that will sustainably fund open access publishing in the subject domain of law, leading to a new economics for open access and commercial publication generally.

The webinar will be delivered via Zoom. Register here.
