We are pleased to announce the publication of our 2022 Annual Report, in which we share our achievements and tell the stories of people who have benefited from our work. 

EIFL has renewed the agreement with JSTOR that provides access to more than 67,000 high-quality backlist titles from over 100 publishers. 

The agreement is valid until 30 June 2024. Participating institutions can access the collection of high-quality backlist titles for a highly discounted subscription fee.

At the end of each subscription year, institutions keep the most used titles in perpetuity. We expect to renew this agreement at the end of June 2024.

EIFL has lots to celebrate this year - 2023 is the 20th anniversary of EIFL as an independent organization and also the 20th anniversary of the EIFL Open Access Programme. 

We’ll be celebrating these milestones at the EIFL General Assembly (GA) in Vilnius from 17 to 21 September. This will be our first in-person GA since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. After three years of online GAs, using Zoom, it will be great to connect with our library consortium coordinators and publisher partners in-person again.

We are delighted to announce that the 2023 EIFL General Assembly, our major knowledge-sharing event of the year, will take place in Vilnius, Lithuania, and will be hosted by the Lithuanian Research Libraries Consortium. This will be our first in-person meeting after three years of online General Assemblies, using Zoom, because of COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Lorraine Estelle, EIFL Licensing Programme Manager, will attend The UKSG 46th Annual Conference and Exhibition.
