“Each member of the faculty and staff grants to Muhlenberg College permission to make his or her scholarly journal articles openly accessible in the College’s Institutional Repository, as permitted by publishers’ policies and/or copyright agreements. To assist the College in cataloguing and distributing the published scholarship of its faculty, each faculty and staff member will, upon publication of the article, provide an electronic copy of the author’s final manuscript of the article, along with the appropriate bibliographical data, to the Scholarly Communication Librarian. This copy will be provided free of charge and in an appropriate format (such as PDF), as specified by the Library Committee in consultation with the Office of the Provost.

The resolution will apply to all scholarly journal articles published while the person is a member of the faculty or staff except for: any articles published before the adoption of this resolution; or any articles for which the author requests a waiver. The Scholarly Communication Librarian will automatically waive application of the resolution for a particular article upon written request by the author. Waivers will only be granted after the bibliographical data of the publication have been submitted."

The Daniel J. and Carol Shiner Wilson Grant for the Completion of Scholarly Projects. Faculty members shall apply for the grant by submitting a letter to the Dean of Academic Life requesting the purpose, and amount they are requesting. The money can be used to help complete a significant work of scholarship or comparable professional activity. The kinds of needs eligible for funding include, but are not limited to, page charges for publication, reproduction rights for illustrations, indexing, final preparation of a manuscript, permissions to republish previously published material, installation fees, copying fees for scores, and framing charges.

Article Processing charges can also be supported through departmental and program budgets

The Muhlenberg College Digital Repository contains a significant portion of the scholarly and creative output of our community. The works incorporated here range across many disciplines, representing various types: journal articles, conference proceedings, books and book chapters, as well as theatre, fiction, sculpture, choreography and more. Because of copyright restrictions, and given that the repository is completely open to the public, some metadata is necessarily unaccompanied by an artifact. Where possible, though, an artifact has been included: writings, musical scores, photographs, or other digital objects to represent the work in part or in its entirety.
