Spring semester is complete. Grades have been submitted and now our energies are increasingly focused on scholarship.
Do you need help with any aspect of scholarly publishing? Our Scholarly Publishing Clinic is available for virtual consultations. Learn how to pick the best journal or publisher for your article or book, retain rights as an author, create a Google Scholar profile or search alert, use Academic Works and citation managers, and more.
Email Prof. Monica Berger to schedule your consultation and discuss your preferences for shared communication. Use this form to give us advance notice of your question. Don’t forget that you can also reach out to your subject liaison in the library. Questions? Contact Prof. Monica Berger at mberger@citytech.cuny.edu
P.S. We’ll be offering our self-guided series Boost Your Scholarly Profile as usual this summer. Look for an all-faculty email soon.
What’s so spooky about today’s scholarly journal prices?
Take our open access quiz to find out what is scaring librarians and might scare you too!
In support of Open Access Week (October 24-30), our colleagues at the Brooklyn College Library created a Halloween-themed quiz about journal pricing.
The Open Access “Pretty Scary” Quiz is ready, don’t be scared to take it, or share it!

It’s still a few weeks away, but the City Tech Library is already getting ready for International Open Access Week. Please save the date for two great faculty workshops we have planned:
Using Open Educational Materials in Your Courses
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
3:30-5:00pm
Rm A543, City Tech Library (Atrium Building)
High-quality open access curricular materials are increasingly available online, and can provide an alternative to traditionally-published, high-priced textbooks. In this workshop we’ll discuss strategies for incorporating freely-available open access and public domain resources into your courses. Bring your syllabus or assignment and we will work together to add resources to your course website on Blackboard, the City Tech OpenLab, or other online platforms.
Coffee & cookies will be served.
Open Access Happy Hour: Your Rights as an Author
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
5:30-7:00pm
Rm A632, Faculty Lounge (Atrium Building)
You know what you write, but do you know your rights? Copyright is a bundle of rights that apply to work you produce in any medium. How can you choose a publisher and negotiate your contracts to make the most of your rights as a scholar, researcher, author, and creator? Come enjoy wine & cheese with your colleagues and learn how to preserve your rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work you create.
The OpenLab is an open-source, digital platform designed to support teaching and learning at City Tech (New York City College of Technology), and to promote student and faculty engagement in the intellectual and social life of the college community.
