The title list is the source of truth for current Read & Publish (R&P) agreements between publishers and Council of Australian University Libraries (CAUL)

Most Read & Publish agreements negotiated between Australian Universities and traditional publishers are being managed by the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL).
