EIFL has been working in Uzbekistan since 1999. We supported the creation of the ‘EIFL Uzbekistan Consortium’, and through this partnership, libraries in Uzbekistan are providing access to a wide range of scholarly e-resources. EIFL agreements with publishers also allow authors in Uzbekistan to publish in open access in hybrid or fully open access journals at waived or discounted Article Processing Charges (APCs).
EIFL has also advocated for revisions to the national copyright law to enable libraries to better meet the needs of their end users.
