Cross-posted from the Claire T. Carney Library News Blog

The Claire T. Carney Library has recently entered into a new agreement with the American Chemical Society that will give faculty cost-saving and open publishing options.

“Authors at [UMass Dartmouth] can now publish their research in any ACS hybrid journal and immediately self-archive their manuscript in their funder or institution’s repository though an ACS read and green agreement. This means that authors can publish with ACS and remain confident they will be able to meet public access requirements without the need to pay additional fees such as an APC or ADC.”

ACS Publications, US Institutions with Read and Green Agreements

For more information on this agreement, please contact Emma Wood, Scholarly Communication Librarian; Sara Pike, Electronic Resources Librarian; or your department liaison librarian.

If you would like to learn more about sharing your research in UMass Dartmouth’s institutional repository, check out the library website.

UMass Dartmouth faculty members actively publish and produce scholarly products within their areas of expertise, and these research outputs come in a variety of formats such as journal articles, conference proceedings, technical reports, and of course, books. To celebrate and promote books written by our faculty, the library adds titles that come to our attention to the library collection. To note a few recent books by UMD faculty, Prof. Anguelov Nikolay of the Public Policy Department recently authored a book titled The Sustainable Fashion Quest: Innovations in Business and Policy, and Prof. Tryon Woods of Crime & Justice Studies published Pandemic Police Power, Public Health, and the Abolition Question. These titles, among others, are available in the Claire. T. Carney Library’s print collection and are searchable online.

Even without knowing the titles or faculty author names, you can still peruse the library collection for books authored by UMD faculty. An efficient method to look up those materials in the online catalog, Primo, is to enter the following keywords in the search box, displayed on the main page: “UMass Dartmouth Faculty Publication Collection.” This search will help to connect you with the books in this growing collection.
