There has been an increase of conflicts between university faculty and students in relation to copyright in the last years due to the development of the open access movement and open science. Several questions have been raised on copyright and its impact on the use of scientific articles and the work of graduate students: What rights are transferred to the publisher and which ones are reserved for the author? What are the storage conditions of digital repositories? Who holds the rights and what are the possibilities of publication of the doctoral dissertations? However, as several studies show, it is usual that neither faculty nor students have the knowledge to answer these questions, which not only causes the infringement of rights, but also the refusal to participate in open science activities for fear of having legal problems. Given this situation, some academic libraries are taking advantage of their strategic position to assume a new key role in the training, support, and advise of their users in relation to this area. The present paper analyzes the possibilities of academic libraries to contribute to an adequate development of open science by supporting and advising the academic community on copyright issues. To achieve this, we outline the necessary professional skills and the basic services that libraries should offer to their users so the copyright law and its related questions are not an obstacle to the proper promotion and development of open science.
