When I was selected as the Digital Processing Assistant for the M.E. Grenander Special Collections and Archives last August, I almost didn't believe it.

On January 1, 2023, SUNY entered a three-year read-and-publish agreement with Cambridge University Press (CUP). This agreement – a market-based solution for expanding open access (OA) to scholarship – provides UAlbany access to all 400+ journals published by CUP while offering UAlbany-affiliated corresponding authors unlimited OA publishing benefits at no additional charge to the author or institution.

Following on the success of this effort, the University Libraries launched two similar agreements in January 2024, with the Institute of Physics and American Chemical Society.

Highlights from the Spring 2024 semester include:

• Love Data Week
• Game Nights in the Minerva Room
• Campus Conversations in Standish
• UAlbany Showcase 2024
• And more!

From strategic planning to werewolves on campus, dive into the latest scholarship produced by the faculty of the University Libraries!

This semester's staff news roundup includes plenty of awards, plus the retirement of a long-time library leader.
