Resources

LIBER’s Board, Committees and Working Groups regularly produce factsheets, case studies and other resources. This page links to our most important updates and results.

In addition, we publish LIBER Quarterly – a peer reviewed, open access journal which seeks to cover all aspects of modern research librarianship and scientific information delivery.
