Digital Scholarship

The Digital Strategies and Scholarship unit supports the research and scholarly needs of the TWU community through the following services:

Institutional repository

The Repository@TWU houses multi-modal scholarly and creative works produced by the Texas Woman’s University community, making it searchable and accessible on all major search engines, including Google and Google Scholar.

OER Mini-Grants

TWU Libraries supports faculty in the adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) for their courses through OER Course Redesign Mini-Grants. Through these mini-grants, TWU Libraries and faculty have saved students over a million dollars in textbook costs. 

Publishing and open-access guidance

Our Digital Scholarship Librarian provides guidance and assistance to the TWU community to help identify journals or publishers that meet their publishing needs. 

Our expertise is in open-access publishing, and we can suggest open-access licensing options available for your work.

Archiving published works

Project INDEX (Increase Discoverability of Expertise) focuses on reviewing faculty curriculum vitae (CVs) for previously published works that meet the accessibility criteria for addition to the Repository@TWU.

Digital exhibits

Tell the story of your research or student’s work through a digital exhibit hosted in Omeka. Omeka is an open-source web-publishing platform that allows users to create digital collections and include rich context and storytelling.

If you are interested in building a digital exhibit, contact Kristin Clark at kclark18@twu.edu or by phone at 940-898-3729.
