Abstract

Abstract Because Open Access is such an essential component in the method of fostering the development of scientific research and progress, a great number of academics are fixated on this issue. When it comes to the process of building a complete library collection for academic institutions, the incorporation of Open Access materials presents the opportunity for the process to be sped up, which is a positive development. This study seeks to identify how professionals and users perceive Open Access resources (OARs), identify any obstacles that professionals may have while incorporating OARs into their libraries, and provide a set of tactics to eliminate these obstacles. A study of six Bangladeshi academic institutions with 454 participants was conducted, with the current study quite promising for any library intending to implement or advocate for OARs in their systems.
