The UNT Libraries Scholarly Communication Office offers classroom visits, faculty or department presentations, workshops and sponsored events on a variety of topics related to scholarly communication, including:

• Scholarly Writing
• Academic publishing
• Editing & peer review
• Copyright & authors’ rights
• Managing research data and funding agency requirements
• Open Access, Open Education Resources, and Open Textbooks
• Scholarly impact and visibility

We also maintain a number of online resources on these topics, and will be happy to set up an appointment to discuss your publishing projects or other questions you might have about the scholarly communication environment.

Class Visits

We can schedule a brief (15-20 min.) overview of our resources and services, or a longer discussion of any of the topics above that might be of interest to particular faculty, students, or staff.

These workshops and class visits are ideally suited to graduate classes or upper-level undergraduate classes with a significant research or publication component (such as a thesis or conference presentation).

Faculty Presentations

We’re also happy to do presentations or workshops for faculty or departments that might be interested in learning about our services or discussing particular issues in scholarly communication such as publication opportunities, editing & peer review practices, author rights, or data management.

If you would like to schedule a visit from one of our librarians, please contact: scholarlycommunication@unt.edu
