The Association of College & Research Libraries has awarded a $5000 Scholarly Communications Research Grant to the University Libraries at the University of Nevada, Reno. ACRL is the higher education association for academic libraries and library workers. The Scholarly Communication Research Grant funds librarians who are seeking to conduct research that contributes to more inclusive systems of scholarly communications. The grant was awarded to the University Libraries to provide research funding to test the accessibility of open textbooks, which are free to read and often licensed to allow teachers to adapt and remix them. The University of Nevada, Reno was one of seven universities to receive the Scholarly Communications Research Grant.
