1. Oxford University Press Read & Publish

The Iowa Academic Library Alliance successfully negotiated a two-part deal with Oxford University Press effective spring 2024 through the end of calendar year 2026.

This deal, largely thanks to the work of library colleagues at Grinnell College and Iowa State University, increases Wartburg's access to OUP holdings from three journals to 375.

The second part of the deal covers the cost for Open Access for journal articles published with any of the OUP journals listed below authored by those associated with partnered institutions and accepted for publication prior to the end of the deal.

You can find more information on OUP LibGuide page.
