openaccessbutton.org @OA_Button Big challenges lie ahead

openaccessbutton.org @OA_Button Moving forwards

• How best can we connect people with available literature after hitting a paywall?

• A paywall can be a spark for change.

openaccessbutton.org @OA_Button How to connect people with work post-paywall

• Currently, jarring and unwelcoming

• We must think about designing ways to help readers find work behind paywalls

• Can we connect them to other resources?

• Paywalls are here to stay

openaccessbutton.org @OA_Button Using paywalls to make change

•Emailing Authors

•Local organising
