This information concerning Open Access services of the Technion Libraries was prepared by Elyachar Central Library staff for our researchers. From 2017 we present it (with relevant updates) to the Technion faculties on the faculty council meetings and answer a lot of questions about OA. These meetings give us a great opportunity to learn more about our users' needs.
