A joint webinar of the Library Publishing Coalition and the IFLA Library Publishing SIG on the groundbreaking European Open Access projects, DIAMAS, CRAFT-OA, and PALOMERA, held on Tuesday, 19 November 2024.

It aims to define the Diamond OA publishing landscape in the European Research Area (ERA) and to support it through the development of standards and toolkits. Pierre Mounier (OPERAS) provided an overview of DIAMAS.
CRAFT-OA (Creating a Robust Accessible Federated Technology for Open Access) aims to make the Open Access landscape more resilient by centralizing expertise, collaboration and a joint visibility/indexing layer. Margo Bargheer offered insights into CRAFT-OA.
PALOMERA (Policy Alignment of Open Access Monographs in the European Research Area) focuses on OA books, and it seeks to create actionable recommendations to ensure that OA monographs are included in OA Funders' policies. Niels Stern provided an overview of this important project.

The October 2024 issue of the IFLA Journal presents a diverse collection of research articles that underscore the vital roles libraries play in promoting sustainable development, advancing information literacy, and developing community engagement. This issue collectively illustrates the multifaceted roles of libraries in advancing societal goals, enhancing information literacy, and fostering inclusivity and collaboration within institutions and across communities. As libraries continue to adapt to global challenges, their commitment to innovation, sustainability and community engagement remains essential in shaping a more informed and equitable world. As made clear by these articles, there is still much work to be done to advance these ambitions of the LIS professions.
