Virginia Tech believes that openness is the future of higher education. Openness
ensures greater dissemination, inclusiveness, and integrity for the
advancement of knowledge and the education of the next generation.
On January 2019, Virginia Tech Library launched an awesome booklet that introduces a few of the many open resources you can
find in and through the Library. You can download the booklet in this link .
The first section, “For Scholars,”
highlights the wealth of open scholarship in the Library’s collections
as well as tools we make available to researchers for writing and
publishing open scholarship. The second section, “For Instructors
and Students,” focuses on tools and resources specifically aimed at
making learning accessible, abundant, and customizable for all.
These resources, tools, and services, plus a great deal more, can be
found on the Library website by visiting lib.vt.edu/open-access and
Open@VT, blogs.lt.vt.edu/openvt.
Throughout the booklet tools and resources marked in maroon,
orange, and grey indicate the following:
- Maroon are resources provided by VT.
- Orange are tools supported by VT.
- Grey are resources created at VT
