• This paper briefly outlines the experience of a large research-intensive university working towards wider adoption of open access. OA has featured in the University's research strategy for several years, but there was a step change in the level of activity following the Finch Report and subsequent policy announcements from RCUK and HEFCE. For individual researchers, OA presents a number of practical challenges that universities must work to overcome. Existing processes and systems have been adapted to improve support for OA, and there has been renewed interest in gold and green initiatives from academics, support staff and senior University executives. Ambitions and priorities are outlined for the coming months.
