The practical guide „Enabling Open Access" („Open Access ermöglichen") provides practical support for the implementation of the Open Access transformation. The tasks described there, which go hand in hand with the Open Access transformation, also require new qualifications from the employees. The Open Access transformation is not only associated with challenges for financing and distribution, but in particular the contract models based on publication costs require a range of new qualifications and skills in practical acquisition work. Therefore, personnel development is also an important milestone in the process of the Open Access transformation. The article describes both the new job profiles and the necessary changes in the classic areas of acquisition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
