The UC Libraries is offering a scoped, one-year pilot fund that covers the cost of open access for early career authors publishing in arts and humanities journals that are not otherwise covered by one of UC’s open access publishing agreements.

The Library hosted a reception to celebrate this year’s Abrescy-Kranich Award recipient Byron Hurte (2025-2026). The Carter Joseph Abrescy and Larry Kranich Library Award for Student Research Excellence is made possible by the generosity of Arlene Kranich and is named after her grandson Carter Abrescy and late husband Larry Kranich.
