Please let us know (by Monday, February 24) which of t…[Read more]

I really appreciated both Anne’s question and Jill’s answer in this thread, and now that I’m facing a somewhat similar situation, I wanted to ask for more feedback.

I’m on a recently-formed, campus-wide committee focused on supporting faculty research at Queens College, chaired by our new Associate Provost for Research.  It is a VERY INTERESTING…[Read more]

Hi everyone,

My chief has been asking me for help lately for ways to talk to Deans & Chairs on campus about Plan S, gold open access, and APCs. Specifically, someone in economics has been asking for the Library’s stance on the above issues, and I really wish I could reach out to Megan for help because I know she would speak to our faculty with…[Read more]

Greetings all,

I thought this question may have been asked here before and checked the archives, but apparently not (or I missed it).

Are any CUNY campuses paying for article processing charges (APCs)?

My chief recently met with our Provost and Associate Provost for Faculty and Administration and talked about a number of topics around scholarly…[Read more]
