Thank you to everyone involved in Access Lab this year!

Access Lab is our free international conference, which takes place each year in March. Over the past five years, libraries, publishers and library users meet at our annual event to discuss challenges facing the information industry. The conference explores industry developments, provides real life case studies and holds topical panel discussions where you get the chance to ask the questions.

Work smarter, not harder with usage stats reporting

Use our customizable reporting tool to make data-driven decisions about where to spend your library budget and how to improve student retention, all included with your OpenAthens subscription.

Add on our reporting API to seamlessly integrate your library usage data into existing data visualization software, such as Tableau or Power BI for even more powerful insights into user behavior.
