“Developing your access agreement 2016-17” conference
OFFA has published guidance to institutions on how to produce 2016-17 access agreements. To supplement this guidance, we held a one-day conference on Tuesday 24 February 2015, for practitioners to discuss our expectations with us and share good practice and experiences with other institutions.
