Fall Into Research: Open Access for UGA Authors: Read & Publish Deals, CC licenses, and OA Citation Advantage

The UGA Libraries recently entered into two new Read & Publish Agreements with Elsevier and Springer Nature that cover APC charges in hybrid journals for UGA authors. With these new agreements, the list of Open Access publishing opportunities for UGA authors expands to over 7,000 journal titles. When publishing Open Access, authors are typically asked to choose a Creative Commons license under which to publish their article. In this session, we will review the different license types and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Elizabeth Pastan: What Kind of Medieval Arts Can Be Seen in Georgia?:

In October 2023, the Hargrett Library at the University of Georgia purchased a fifteenth-century French book of hours, bound in a sixteenth-century embroidered cover and accompanied by a beaded bag. This recent purchase prompts the need to reflect on three hundred years of collecting medieval objects—both manuscripts and art—in the American South, a region not known for its medieval holdings. The symposium addresses the complex history of Southern medievalisms. We ask: What distinguishes medieval collections in the South? What are their origins?
