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 for the
creation of affordable digital textbooks for adoption in Texas Tech classrooms.
