Abstract
As the academic publishing landscape evolves, read and publish agreements have emerged as a crucial mechanism for balancing the costs of publishing with the goals of open access. Demonstrating the value of these agreements is critical for libraries. This project report examines how one academic library created a data gathering framework to show how cost-savings data could substantiate the benefits of these agreements, and how they developed and implemented data gathering and display tools in the library to make a strong, data-backed case for read and publish agreements.
