    ScholComm Heroes

    The Scholarly Communications and Excellence in Open Access Award will honor the work of an individual or group of academics, including faculty and librarians, who have made significant advances in our understanding of the issues surrounding scholarly communications and/or in developing innovative content for dissemination through digital scholarly platforms such as institutional repositories, electronic theses and dissertations, or online open access journals.

    The Name Says It All

    Many libraries do not have full-time staff dedicated to digital projects but find creative ways to develop a digital presence. The Texas Digital Library Trailblazer Award will honor the work of an individual or group within a Texas academic library who has used limited resources in innovative ways to create, maintain or support digital collections.
