Description

The Electronic Journals Library (EZB) offers information on over 100,000 journals, with metadata managed by more than 660 libraries. As part of the openCost project, the EZB has been expanded and now offers information on publishing in journals, publication costs, and the funding conditions of institutions. This information is available to end users in the EZB and via its interfaces for subsequent use by repositories or others.

In this workshop, we will introduce the EZB's new openCost features. Together with the participants, we will discuss how repositories, their operators and, most notably, their users can benefit from the information provided by the EZB. Based on this, we will jointly define the requirements for further interfaces used for data exchange.
