The Library is now participating in a Read & Publish agreement with Wiley, which allows corresponding authors affiliated with UT Southwestern to publish articles as open access in eligible journals at no charge to them. However, unlike other recent agreements, there is a maximum number of articles that may be published at no charge each year, and we are allowed a total of 140 articles for this year.
For more information about the agreement, please review the APC Guide.
New Archives Policies and Procedures
The Special Collections Library and Archives has implemented a new fee structure for reproduction and publishing of archival materials. This fee is for digital reproductions of the items available in our holdings. It varies based on the type of material as well as the quality level requested for digitization.
The fee applies to users outside of the UTSW system when digitizing images, audiovisual materials, and documents. However, thesis and dissertations have a cost associated with them for everyone.
From the Library's website, authorized UT Southwestern users may access more than:
440,000 electronic books
25,000 electronic journals
300 databases
Be aware that electronic resource use is governed by institutional license agreements. Publishers monitor use of their electronic resources for potential abuse, especially at the institutional level.
To assist you in using licensed resources responsibly and navigating the copyright and permissions labyrinth, the Library has updated two guides:
Using Media – provides information on how to access and use media (i.e., images, video, audio) responsibly, request permissions and cite and attribute.
Collecting UTSW’s historical records, in digital or physical format, ensures that they can be preserved and made accessible to researchers in the future. If you or your department has items that might be related to the history of UTSW, please reach out to archives@utsouthwestern.edu.
