Program Overview

Newfound Press, the University Libraries’ open access digital imprint, advances the community of learning by experimenting with effective and open systems of scholarly communication. We publish in many disciplines, encompassing scientific research, humanistic scholarship, and artistic creation.
VOL Journals are Volunteer, Open-Access, Library-hosted Journals, a service for UT researchers and scholars provided by The University of Tennessee Libraries. UT Libraries partners with editors and/or societies to publish and share academic research and scholarship with the broader community, thus helping to fulfill The University of Tennessee’s mission to enrich and elevate citizens of the state, nation, and world.
