Did you know that the library spends over $6 million annually to provide access to research outputs that researchers have provided freely to publishers? Globally, academic publishers earn over $25 billion US each year.

The documentary Paywall: The Business of Scholarship explores the world of academic publishing, challenging the rationale behind the for-profit academic publishing model and focusing on the need for open access to research.
