Over the past three years, libraries, publishers, and partners have worked together to shape Path to Open, a Books at JSTOR initiative that supports the transition of high-quality scholarly monographs to open access at scale.

With positive results and feedback, the pilot is now moving forward as an official JSTOR program. Watch this on-demand webinar to explore this important milestone and learn what it means for your library.

Join Rebecca Seger and John Lenahan, along with community members who have helped shape Path to Open to reflect on key learnings, highlight its impact, and discuss what’s next for current and prospective participants.
