PubMed has identified a persistent EZProxy issue affecting off-campus access. The issue is related to a Cloudflare complication impacting reCAPTCHA functionality. As a result, we have removed the EZProxy link to PubMed.
When accessing articles from PubMed off-campus, please use the “Find It – UTSW Library” article links as opposed to the publisher links. This will direct you to the LibKey link for the article, which can then be accessed successfully through EZProxy.
Alternatively, you may access PubMed resources by connecting through VPN.
The Library has launched accessible academic poster templates in response to the federal accessibility mandate, aiming to remove longstanding barriers in scholarly communication. Designed with features like high-contrast color schemes and structured reading order, the templates enable researchers of all abilities to present their work more inclusively without sacrificing visual rigor. The initiative not only ensures compliance but signals a broader shift toward universal design as a baseline standard in academic publishing.

The UT Southwestern Special Collection Library and University Archive is proud to announce that they were awarded the SCAMeL Speedy Start Up Grant for phase one of the digitization of the University Lecture series. The award amounts to $4,660 and will cover the digitization of 30 VHS tapes as well as the closed captions for these tapes. The tapes chosen were from prominent scientist who work(ed) at the university as well as Nobel Laureates who were invited to speak. About half of the lecturers have since passed away so these lectures offer a true look into scientific history. We are excited to share these videos with the UTSW campus community and the larger region of scientists when they are completed.
Publication data from calendar year 2025 has been gathered from the Library’s open access publishing agreements, and UT Southwestern authors saved more than $1 million in article processing charges (APCs) during the year.
The Library’s agreements allow UTSW corresponding authors to publish articles as open access either at no charge through an APC waiver or with a 10-15% APC discount. In 2025, the total value of APC waivers or discounts from the top 10 publishers equaled $1,026,561. The 2024 total of APC waivers and discounts was $738,788.50, so the 2025 total represents an overall 39% increase.
The Library has recently added three new 2026 agreements: JAMA Network, Royal Society of Chemistry, and Springer Nature. (Please note: the JAMA agreement excludes JAMA, and the Springer agreement includes neither the Nature journal portfolio nor Springer’s fully open access journals.) Please refer to the Library’s APC Guide for more information about our current agreements.
