Journals with Article Processing Charge (APC) Agreements - This site helps U-M affiliated authors at Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses find journals with Article Processing Charge (APC) discounts or waivers managed through U-M Library and the BTAA (Big Ten Academic Alliance).
Guidance on use of library-subscribed resources (University of Michigan Library) - Artificial intelligence tools offer exciting possibilities, but they also raise important concerns when used with library-licensed content.
When you upload content you accessed through a U-M-Library license, you may be violating the terms of the publisher’s license with the University, the Library’s terms of service (see, for instance the U-M Library Statement on Appropriate Use of Electronic Resources), and/or the AI platform’s terms of service.
GenAI Instruction Team resources (University of Michigan Library) - This guide is both for users who are new to GenAI looking for ready-made guides to explore and more experienced users looking for resources to explore on their own. While originally intended for library educators, its contents will be of value to users from a variety of backgrounds and fields. Users may opt to explore the curated articles and think pieces at will or work through our Primer or other guides (linked below) for more guided instruction.
Tool for detailed documented analysis - UMGPT Toolkit Python example script to serially analyze PDFs and extract data to a CSV file.
Collections Explorer (Harvard University) - Collections Explorer uses AI to search Harvard Library’s collections. Currently, it only searches items from special collections.
Additional Information
NISO assumes organizations register as a group. The model assumes that an unlimited number of staff will be watching the live broadcast in a single location, but also includes access to an archived recording of the event for those who may have timing conflicts.
Educational program contacts and registrants receive sign-on instructions via email three business days prior to the virtual event. If you have not received your instructions by the day before an event, please contact NISO headquarters for assistance via email (nisohq@niso.org).
Registrants for an event may cancel participation and receive a refund (less $30.00) if the notice of cancellation is received at NISO HQ (nisohq@niso.org) one full week prior to the event date. If received less than 7 days before, no refund will be provided.
Links to the archived recording of the broadcast are distributed to registrants 24-48 business hours following the close of the live event. Access to that recording is intended for internal use of fellow staff at the registrant’s organization or institution. Shared resources are posted to the NISO event page.
