ANU Library Personal Library Service newsletter
APRIL 2023
Message from the University Librarian Welcome to the first Personal Library Service Newsletter for 2023. I hope that you are finding our online and in-person services meet your needs. A great starting point is our services for research students webpage. We launched our new library software in 2022. There are some great new resources available about Leganto, the system that supports access to resources for teaching. We are always looking for ways to improve your experience with the Library, and that includes these newsletters. Let us know if there is a topic you would like more information on that we could include in a future edition. Our staff are here to support you! If you have any questions or need guidance, please don’t hesitate to email us and we will connect you to the most appropriate specialist librarian. Email library.info@anu.edu.au at any time. We look forward to supporting you in your research. Roxanne Missingham, University Librarian » view previous newsletters here

	Data Management Plans Are you looking for an easy way to manage your research data from start to finish, while ensuring you meet funder’s reporting requirements? The DMPTool is here to make it all easier for you! A Data Management Plan (DMP) is essential to ensure that your data is collected, collated, presented, and made available for reuse in an accurate way that protects the data’s integrity and adheres to principles of best research practice. The DMPTool is a program that helps you plan how to manage the data associated with your research. The ANU Library has just launched two new videos about using the DMP Tool.
	Read and Publish agreements The ANU Library has agreements with certain publishers that allow ANU authors to publish journal articles via open access without paying for Article Processing Charges (APCs). These are called Read and Publish (RAP) agreements. Our agreements with Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, and SAGE are especially significant, as a large portion of the published output of the ANU is through these companies.  This is a significant development that will enable ANU authors to increase the impact and engagement of their articles across the world. Further details about each agreement and how ANU authors can publish open access under these agreements is available in our Read and Publish Agreements guide.

	New from ANU Press This book is an essential guide for non-Indigenous linguists wanting to engage more deeply with Indigenous communities and form genuinely collaborative research partnerships. It fleshes out and redefines ethical linguistic research and work with Indigenous people and communities, with application beyond linguistics. By reassessing, from an Indigenous point of view, what it means to ‘save’ an endangered language, Something’s Gotta Change shows how linguistic research can play a positive role in keeping (maintaining) or putting (reclaiming) endangered languages on our tongues. Download this title, and more, on the ANU Press website.
