Fall 2012 Faculty Showcase

Traditionally, schools of architecture are not great laboratories to explore the collaborative processes and teamwork that are essential to integrated design and delivery practices as exemplified by Lean Construction.

Open Access 101: What Is Open Access And How Is It Changing Scholarship?, Andrew Wesolek

USU Libraries Supports Open Access

The rise of electronic publication has irrevocably transformed the ways we share research with colleagues. We are now able to share our research faster and more cheaply than ever before.
