Open Access in Libya is facilitated through two open access journals and Libya based researchers publish in international open access journals.
Open access journals edit
The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) indexes two open access journals: Open Veterinary Journal published by the National Authority for Scientific Research & Alfateh University and the International Journal of English Language and Translation.[1]

The Libyan Academy of Graduate Studies has initiated an ETD digital library project to build a digital library for theses and dissertations, the first of its kind in Libya. The project is based on the Greenstone open source software platform.[3]
