The library is migrating to a new website platform for eScholarship@UMassChan, which will bring substantial benefits in searching, submission, workflow, and efficiency. On Wednesday, September 14, 2022, URLs for content in eScholarship will redirect to the new website: https://repository.escholarship.umassmed.edu/
The Journal of eScience Librarianship has moved to a new publishing platform! Moving to Janeway aligns with JeSLIB’s goal to utilize an open-source platform that integrates with existing open-source scholarly infrastructure and tools.
Take a break from the summer heat and meet other R users at UMass Chan at these two upcoming R Café Gatherings!
