New to Access Lab?

Access Lab is OpenAthens’ online international conference, which takes place each year. For a decade, libraries, publishers and library users have met at the event to discuss challenges facing the information industry.

Featuring speakers from around the world, the conference explores industry developments, provides real life case studies and holds topical panel discussions where you get the chance to ask the questions.

If you’re not sure what to expect, watch our 2025 Access Lab recordings and view our Access Lab resource hub.
