Not-for-profit organisation Electronic Information for Libraries (EIFL) has announced that the EIFL Open Access programme has received the 2011 SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) Europe Award for Outstanding Achievements in Scholarly Communications.
EIFL was selected for its awareness, advocacy and capacity building activities carried out over the last three years and for its success in developing a large number of both repositories and open access journals run in EIFL partner countries.
Launched in 2006, the annual SPARC-Europe Award for Outstanding Achievements in Scholarly Communications recognises an individual or group within Europe that has made significant advances in the understanding of the issues surrounding scholarly communications and/or in developing practical means to address the problems with the current systems.
