Participating authors must publish in fully open access, peer-reviewed journals.  The funds are available to any UConn faculty, post doctoral researcher, staff member or graduate student author, but the applicant must be the corresponding author and must have that UConn affiliation. The published article must also be made available in DigitalCommons@UConn, our institutional repository.

 Reimbursement is up to $1250 per article but the author must exhaust other funding avenues prior to applying to the OA fund. This fund is co-sponsored by the UConn Libraries, the UConn Health Center Library and the Vice President for Research.

 Further information is available at the Open Access Fund Libguide: http://uchc.libguides.com/OA_AuthorFund  If you have questions you can contact your liaison or write to the Libraries’ Scholarly Communication Team at Scholarlycommlib@listserv.uconn.edu.

The Libraries have introduced a new search tool that will enable users to do just one search to find the resources they need.

Functioning as a library catalog, a journal locator, a database locator, and a large full-text article database, the new search tool enables users to enter terms into a web-like search box to obtain licensed content from the Libraries’ entire collection. Previously, users were required to search in multiple locations or fields, depending on the type of information they sought. The technology behind the new search tool is called “Summon(tm),” and is provided by Serials Solutions(r), a business unit of ProQuest(r).

To use the new all-encompassing search tool, labeled “Everything @ UConn,” just insert a topic of interest. Users may then refine their search and specify parameters such as content type, subject, or date. For a more sophisticated search by, for example, author or journal title, users should use the “Advanced Search” option.

To try the tool, go to:

http://www.lib.uconn.edu

Please let us know what you think. Send your feedback to: http://bit.ly/zZenMG

If assistance is needed while searching, users may contact a librarian via chat, text, e-mail, phone, or in person, at: http://www.lib.uconn.edu/help/askHomer/
