The CSU system has signed an agreement with Oxford University Press Journals which covers the cost of making articles Stanislaus State authors available freely to all ("Open Access"). Eligible corresponding authors do not have to pay an article publishing charge (APC) to make their article "Open Access."
This is part of a joint Oxford agreement with participating CSU libraries, the University of California System, and many private academic libraries in California, and is in effect for the next four years (through 12/31/2028).
The following publishers also offer "open access" publishing to Stanislaus State authors at no or reduced charges.
Unpaywall 
is a service which attempts to find full-text articles and resources available for free online (i.e. not behind a paywall). We have incorporated Unpaywall into the Stanislaus State Library OneSearch service. When you search OneSearch, if the library does not have the article in our collection, the system will also query Unpaywall, and may link to free sources for that article.
Unpaywall can also link to working papers, pre-print versions of articles, and early working paper versions of articles. See the Unpaywall tips for more information.
The University Library has been able to upgrade Stanislaus State access to cover all current and future SAGE Journals. Previously, the library provided access to 777 journals, but now Stanislaus State students, faculty, and staff have access to all 1132 SAGE Premier journals.

Digital access to high-quality, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal content including full-text articles dating back to 1999 (where available); scholarly, professional, and peer-reviewed research published in partnership with professional societies.

The CSU system allocated additional central funding to cover the cost and expand the scope of all CSU libraries’ subscriptions to three key collections:
Is now a 3-year system-wide contract.
This is an example of levering the collective power of the CSU system to ensure benefits to all CSU students without an increase in spending.
