AB  - The Electronic Journals Library (EZB) presents e-journals to library users in a clearly structured, user-friendly interface and provides its member libraries with an efficient administrative tool for e-journal licenses. Furthermore, the EZB offers information on more than 110,000 e-journals from all subject areas, including 75,000 freely available titles. Over 650libraries and research institutions – mostly from German-speaking countries– jointly maintain the EZB data, ensuring that journal information is of a high standard and constantly updated.This makes the EZB a reliable hub for high-quality, up-to-date data in the library world. It provides data for various user services delivering literature and research information. Within the scope of the openCost project, the EZB will be further extended by additional data on publication costs and new functionalities for displaying and delivering these cost data via various existing EZB interfaces. These innovations include enhanced user information on whether their institution covers these publication costs,either via transformative agreements or via its publication funds. This is also being achieved by means of new journal categories, an OpenAPC integration, and better integration of transformative agreements via ESAC-IDs into EZB data. Following this path, the EZB is making a significant contribution to greater publication cost transparency.
