University Library Passau is the central information and literature provider for University of Passau strictly aligning its services with the students’, academics’ and instructors’ needs. The library offers a comprehensive range of publication services for the university’s academic staff, strictly focusing on Open Access. Recently, Open Access publications by affiliates of University of Passau have increased gradually. A further increase due to an imminent growth of the university can be expected for the upcoming years. Amid this increase in the need for support in academic Open Access publishing University Library Passau aims at continuously offering the best financial assistance possible as well as extending its commitment supported by the DFG. As requested by the DFG, University of Passau plans to implement standardized and automated workflows for recording the publication output as well as making publication budgets and costs transparent and comprehensible. For this purpose the library collaborates with the finance and research funding departments of the university. An overarching goal is to help facilitate and strengthen the open access transformation that has already begun. In order to achieve these goals, shape the Open Access infrastructure sustainably, and be able to meet the academics’ needs equally well in the future, funding by the DFG is crucial.
