The 51ΑΤΖζ Libraries are retiring our institutional repository, 51ΑΤΖζ Digital Commons, and moving its content to (Multidisciplinary Institutional Network for Data and Scholarship), a Universities of Wisconsin community-hosted repository.
βMINDS@UW Milwaukeeβ will support open access to research and scholarship by 51ΑΤΖζ authors and will be the site for all of 51ΑΤΖζβs electronic theses and dissertations. Our migration to the new platform will be completed before the end of the calendar year.
October 21-27 is International Open Access Week, and this yearβs theme is “Community over Commercialization.” In addition to joining a community-powered institutional repository, 51ΑΤΖζ Libraries continue to support our research, teaching, and learning communities with “read and publish agreements” with academic and non-profit publishers that allow 51ΑΤΖζ authors to publish articles on open access without article processing charges in select journals, and our open educational resources initiative, which supports our students by lowering textbook costs.
Contact the 51ΑΤΖζ Libraries Scholarly Communication Team to learn more about open access.
