New Read & Publish Agreement Signed!
We’re excited to announce that the Library has signed a Read & Publish agreement with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Journals (CSHLP). The agreement provides five opportunities for UMass Chan corresponding authors to publish their manuscripts open access in the following CSHLP titles, without any article process charges (APCs):
Self-service black & white printing and photocopying is a free service in the library. We realize, however, that color images in scientific literature are the norm now and that in some cases the color is essential for understanding the data presented. For this reason, we want to be able to provide color printing for students in a limited capacity.
We’re excited to announce that the Lamar Soutter Library, UMass Chan Medical School, has signed on to a Read and Publish Agreement with Cambridge University Press (CUP). This agreement was made possible thanks to the NorthEast Research Libraries Consortium (NERL), of which we are a member.
During this hands-on workshop, participants will learn tips and tricks for creating effective charts in Excel. The workshop will cover best practices for chart layout, color choices, labeling, visualizing data responsibly, and more. All experience levels with Excel are welcome.
For more information, please contact Sally Gore or Tess Grynoch, the instructors for the course.
Along with the many other exciting renovations that took place in the Library during 2020-21 (and continue now with the skylight replacement project), the Research & Scholarly Communications Department moved to a new office space. The completely refurbished suite provides individual offices for each librarian in the Department, a workspace for our library assistant, and a shared conference/teaching area that we hope to put to good use as students and staff return to campus.
The Research & Scholarly Communication Services department of the Library has a new librarian! We welcome Kim MacKenzie to our team.
