About Us
The Scholarly Communication Department at IU Bloomington Libraries provides infrastructure and services to support the IU community in creating, sharing, and preserving their scholarly work. We believe that equitable access to research and information is foundational to the production of knowledge, and are dedicated to supporting this principle within the IU community.
Across all IU regional campuses, we support Open Scholarship with impact/metrics consultations, an open journals publishing platform, OER consultations and publishing support, and a publishing service. We also manage IU Bloomington's institutional repository, IUScholarWorks.
For IU Bloomington affiliates, our department offers assistance with open access policy compliance and funding for open access publishing.
