Abstract
Open access is one of ways to understand and support the effectual transmission of information to their users, in an ever-changing intellectual and technological context in a modern digital world. The main idea of Open access is to ensure sustained and free online access to full texts for all users, without financial, legal or technical barriers. At the time of seeking new opportunities for making the results of research and science visible, it isn´t necessary to continue the development of Open access, but it´s also very important to be able to find and interpret deficits and new possibilities of Open access. Conference paper in the context of the Czech library environment deals with strengths and deficits of Open access, which can be identified after fifteen years of efforts to ensure its implementation. Based on the quantitative analysis of selected open access sources will be pointed out to space, scope and framework of Open Access in the Czech Republic. The purpose is to highlight the positive and negatives that have occurred in the Czech Republic, in promoting Open access ideas and principles.
