Do you want to publish in a Wiley or Hindawi open access journal but don’t have funding to pay the required Article Processing Charge (APC)? Great news! The UAB Libraries now has a Read & Publish Agreement with Wiley that allows UAB authors to publish in Gold OA and hybrid OA journals at no cost to them. The Agreement covers the APC for nearly 2,000 Wiley and Hindawi journals.

To find out more information about the Wiley Read & Publish Agreement and other APC funding opportunities from the UAB Libraries, visit the Office of Scholarly Communication.

Registration is now open for the Spring 2023 Business Research Toolkit. Get an overview of basic business research skills and resources including free online sources and UAB subscription databases in this free, seven-week asynchronous Canvas course.

Many university libraries suspend their Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services during the holidays, making it difficult for us to fill our patrons’ requests.

For that reason, UAB Libraries will suspend our ILL services for borrowing between Saturday, December 17, 2022 and Monday, January 2, 2023.

During that time, new requests cannot be accepted, but previously requested materials may be picked up as usual, and previously requested photocopies will be e-mailed as usual.

Patrons may check the status of their requests at any time. Some requested materials may not arrive until after the new year.

We will resume normal ILL operations on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

In conjunction with UAB’s 2022 Toy Drive, UAB Libraries are again holding our Toys for Fines holiday charity drive to bring smiles to children who may not otherwise receive gifts this holiday season. Library users with overdue fines (current or prior) can have up to $20 waived when they donate a new, unwrapped toy for a child (infant through 16 years of age) to the Toys for Tots drive.
