Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine how university libraries support open access information sources. Method: In this study, interviews were employed to collect data using a qualitative research methodology. Findings: The data indicated that libraries and librarians promoted the availability of OA information sources through the library page, which can be viewed at https://library.unesa.ac.id. Conclusion: To ensure that lecturers and students have access to a variety of scientific information sources, it is crucial for university libraries to develop and promote open access information sources. © 2023, Airlangga University Faculty of Vocational Studies.
