As we reach the end of 2024, the GLAM-E Lab has worked with over 24 organizations to create or expand their open access programs. Is your organization exploring a new open access program? Do you have questions not addressed in the existing GLAM-E Lab resources? Reach out! You might be our next collaborator!

These questions may have really good answers! If that's the case, it would be nice of Prusa to share them so that everyone else can learn from them. Maybe even address them.
