Research Impact and Open Access

UT Libraries is committed to equity of access to information. As a library and a vibrant member of our land-grant institution, we believe equitable access to information is foundational to a strong community and a just world.  

We not only support authors with open access publishing fees, we also use our budget to invest in sustainable open access projects with academic publishers. We advocate for change. We share the work of Volunteers with the world. We provide support for scholarly publishing and research impact. We aim to normalize open access to research and scholarship for students, faculty, and all residents of the state of Tennessee.
