Knowledge Unlatched

Curation starts with listening.

Building impactful Open Access (OA) collections begins with the invaluable insights of librarians worldwide. Each year, their feedback guides Knowledge Unlatched in shaping OA collections that meet the evolving needs of the academic community.

We are inviting librarians everywhere to take part in KU's Content Survey 2025. It only takes about three minutes to answer a few questions, including:

🔹 Which subject areas should receive greater focus in OA collections?
🔹 Should KU expand OA collections in Business and Economics?
🔹 Is OA content aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals important?

Librarians' input is vital to ensuring that Open Access collections remain relevant, useful, and forward-thinking. We’d love to hear from librarians everywhere—please tell us what you think.

Knowledge Unlatched is committed to building Diamond Open Access collections that align with the needs of libraries and their communities.
