Ball State University Open Journals
The Ball State University Libraries publish nine Open Access journals covering a range of disciplines, including biological sciences, humanities, education, social work, counseling psychology, literature, and philosophy. We recommend these for inclusion in all ExLibris discovery platforms (Summon, Primo) and knowledge bases (360/Intota, Alma, SFX).
The journals include well-established titles such as Teaching History and The Journal for Social Action in Counseling & Psychology, as well as new titles such as The Journal of Special Education Preparation and Sport Social Work, launched in 2022.
The current full journal list is:
• Burkhardt Review, https://doi.org/10.33043/BR
• Bulletin of the International Association for Robin Hood Studies, https://doi.org/10.33043/BIARHS
• Digital Literature Review, https://doi.org/10.33043/dlr

Hi James,
Happy to support this idea! Please note that for Alma CZ at least, you can add records and portfolios to Alma CZ with the Contribute functionality. See: "Contributing to the Community Zone – Local Electronic Collections"

We did it for our Open Access "PoPuPS" platform and it works nicely.
