AI Assistance

  • Our collections team would like to provide some guidance for our rapidly changing Artificial Intelligence (AI) landscape. As you consider your research methodologies and process with library resources, we invite you to review our AI at Auraria Library research guide.
  • Access to and use of electronic resources, including text and data mining (TDM) and uploading library-licensed content to any type of AI or large language model, is managed according to publisher license agreements. If you have questions for a specific research project use case, please reach out to the library.

Open Access Publishing

These Transformative Agreements are one way Auraria Library supports your research, and they provide either discounted or waived article processing charges (APCs) for authors from Auraria Campus.
