The Conference features 23 distinguished speakers and experts across the globe (USA,
Canada, Italy, Turkey, Czech Republic, the Philippines, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine,
and Kazakhstan) demonstrating their experience in creating OA digital collections,
repositories and implementing OA technologies in libraries. We featured three keynote
presentations: the first keynote speaker, Matthew Voigts (Netherlands, Policy and
Research Officer in IFLA), presented his speech with the theme, “Copyright and
Publications for the Digital Future: A Global View of Laws, Access and Practice”. The
second keynote speaker, Paola Corti (Italy, Open Education Community Manager of
SPARC Europe), gave an online presentation on “Ready, Set, Action! ENOEL
Librarians at the Crossway of Open Education”. The third keynote speaker, Raymond
Uzwyshyn (USA, Director of Collections and Digital Services at Texas State University
Libraries), had his speech on the topic “Open Access Data Research Repositories: From
Data to Research Ecosystems to Artificial Intelligence”. We also would like to thank
our speakers who presented online despite various barriers and life situations in the
world. In order to support and develop open access, all presentations and Proceedings
of the EALC 2022 conference are placed in the NU Repository, and a video recording
