Program Overview
Texas Tech University Libraries provides support for the publication and dissemination of scholarship from the Texas Tech Community through the digitization, publication, and preservation of the community’s scholarly outputs, from ETDs to datasets. We also provide support for increased access to TTU research, both through our institutional repository, ThinkTech, and through supporting local Open Access Journals. Additional support, in line with university-wide initiatives on increasing student affordability, is provided to the creation of affordable digital textbooks for adoption in Texas Tech classrooms.
