Update on publisher agreements for 2026

The Council of Australasian University Librarians (CAUL) has negotiated new in-principle agreements to improve open access publishing in 2026 with Springer Nature, Wiley, and Taylor & Francis. There is no current agreement with Elsevier for 2026, and RMIT Library is working to support members of our community who will be impacted.
