Project Muse

It publishes works on various areas of English studies: linguistics, literature and the culture of the English-speaking world. It is aimed at the general public with an interest in these subjects, not just specialists. Each issue deals with a specific theme through articles, reviews and interviews with scholars.

Electronic journals from more than 70 North American university publishers coordinated by Johns Hopkins University.

Open educational resources (OER)

Open educational resources are defined as 'educative, learning, and research materials in any format, digital or otherwise, in the public domain or published under an open licence that allows free access, use, adaptation, and redistribution by anyone without any other restriction or with limited restrictions' (UNESCO, Paris Declaration about Open Educational Resources, 2012). These resources can include courses, didactic modules, exercises, simulations, textbooks, games, multimedia materials, and other types of educational and learning materials. The UAB libraries' website offers a selection of resources, repositories, and tools for finding, creating, and publishing OER.

Personal collections and special UAB collections

Hypatia Trust

The Hypatia Trust is an educational organisation in the United Kingdom dedicated to promoting women's rights through research and educational activities. Thanks to the mediation of Professor Aránzazu Usandizaga from the Department of English and Germanic Philology, a portion of this collection is now housed at the Humanities Library. The Hypatia Trust Collection comprises almost 900 books on Literature, Culture, Society, and History, either written by women or about women, all in the English language.

Wormwood review

The Wormwood Review stands as a prominent example of the literary boom during the 1960s in the United States. Edited by Marvin Malone, it served as a showcase for the best literature of that era across a span of one hundred and fifty issues. The Wormwood Review is a notable instance of how a small literary magazine can consistently publish for nearly four decades. The digitisation and preservation of the Wormwood Review in the UAB Digital Repository of Documents offer researchers, professors, and students access to a distinctive literary activity. The project was spearheaded by Professor Abel Debritto from the Department of English and German.
