Through our participation in the BTAA consortium, Rutgers University Libraries have secured an open access publishing agreement with Wiley through December 31, 2027.

The agreement continues the consortium’s commitment to a barrier-free publishing model, allowing eligible corresponding authors to publish open access in Wiley hybrid journals at no cost, while maintaining full reading access to the Wiley journal portfolio.

❗Important update for authors: Publishing support is changing for some Wiley journals that may affect author funding and submission timing decisions.

AI chatbots are everywhere—and while they can be helpful, they’re also getting medical questions wrong nearly 50% of the time.

When accuracy really matters, researchers and journalists aren’t relying on chatbots—they’re turning to systematic reviews to get reliable, evidence‑based answers.

Librarians play an essential role in making those reviews rigorous, transparent, and trustworthy.

Did you have a chance to check out the R Garden in the College Avenue Student Center on Rutgers Day? 👀

Rutgers University Libraries transformed the Block R into an open book using bookbinding fabric, cardboard, 3D printed letters, and a compilation of images, maps, and graphical designs.

The project is a visual representation of the extensive Rutgers University Libraries system: 11 libraries across all Rutgers locations, five distinctive collections, and a robust online presence.

Meet the creative minds who conceived and constructed this work of art: Charles Casseus, Luke Sangiamo, and Ray George from our centralized shipping department. 👏👏👏
