In the very near future, we’ll be adding SciFree to our library website. SciFree is a search tool that makes it simpler to figure out whether a journal is covered by one of our publisher agreements providing APC-free publishing or discounting. About twenty Canadian academic libraries are currently using SciFree — you can see an example in Guelph’s: https://search.scifree.se/uoguelph.
Our SciFree page, at least initially, will be prominently linked from our APC Support page.
There are three opportunities next week to see a demo of SciFree and discuss questions before it launches. Please email Sarah Polkinghorne if you’d like to attend a session but haven’t received an invitation yet. Recordings will be available for those who can’t attend at these times.
- Tuesday, 11 February, 2:00-2:30 pm – demo for ISSs
- Wednesday, 12 February, 2:00-3:30 pm – demo for ISSs (same session, offered twice)
- Thursday, 13 February, 2:00-2:50 pm – demo for librarians
