    Dr Alan Akbik delivering the last keynote on text and data mining image credits: LIBEReurope The panel discussions that took place on the day were equally informative and thought provoking; these addressed matters not only around openness in scholarly publishing, research data and infrastructure, but also looked at the role of libraries as trainers and educators and considered the needs of users in the emerging open science movement. A poster session offered the ideal setting for directly interacting with other delegates and learning about their projects while, during the second part of the Knowledge Café, conference participants had the chance to hear updates from members of the LIBER groups and committees regarding future strategic activities and share their feedback. An evening reception at the beautiful building of the Palais des Beaux Arts de Lille successfully closed the second day of the conference.

    At the beginning of the big show, models walked in the magnificent Louvre and shuttled between ancient sculptures. Outside the window, you could also see the inverted pyramid of the Louvre’s iconic building. The dazzling array of artworks in the gallery pavilion made people dizzying. There is no need to travel far because of the appearance of travel.

    Thanks for sharing actually you are right in many cases Open Access publishing isn`t expensive at all, it is not at all a research done in a poor quality, also quite often publishing in open access promotes published materials citation and impact. Iryna Kuchma also shared policy documents from different countries, which are accepted in large number of countries across the globe -not only in Europe, but also in Africa and Latin America. Keep sharing!
