EIU Media Relations

Booth Library has made great efforts to ensure that the EIU community has access to scholarly materials, such as research articles and journals, that may be otherwise inaccessible due to paywalls. Booth has negotiated with publishers to support Open Access; Open Access (OA)  allows research resources to be distributed online without barriers. Booth has made OA arrangements with the American Institute for Physics, American Physiological Society, Project Muse, and other publishers.  Through these arrangements, numerous scholarly materials are freely available to the staff and students of EIU. 

A complete list of Open Access arrangements and license agreements along with more information about Booth’s contributions to Open Access can be found in this LibGuide. 

Please contact your subject librarian or Sarah Johnson, Head of Collection Management (sljohnson2@eiu.edu), with any questions.
