Library Resources for Faculty

This guide includes information for faculty to use to more easily integrate library resources into their classes and some shortcuts to make your busy lives a little easier!

Publishing Your Research

The BVU Library has signed "transformative agreement" licenses with both Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. These agreements give BVU access to their e-journal collection and waive  the Article Processing Charges (APC) for any BVU faculty who has their submissions approved for publication in those journals.

Oxford Read/Publish agreement was inaugerated in 2024 by the Iowa Alliance.  This agreement allows our community access to many more Oxford journals than we used to subscribe to AND it covers the APC for any BVU faculty who has their work accepted for publication in an Oxford journal.

The Cambridge Transformative Agreement was launched in January 2025.

Please contact Jodie for more information about publishing in these journals.
