OU Libraries partners with the Division of Regional and City Planning in the Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture to publish the Interdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding (IJSW).

Research related to on-premise signs and way finding is not a new topic. Scholars and professionals from the fields of engineering, business, marketing, art, architecture, planning, and law, have long produced scholarship in this area.  However, this research has often been difficult to find because of its dispersal in publications across an array of fields.  The interdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding seeks to fill that gap.  Sponsored by the Academic Advisory Council for Signage Research and Education (AACSRE), this on-line, open source journal seeks to be the home for scholarship in the field of signage and wayfinding, and to make that scholarship accessible to academics and practitioners alike.

OU Libraries newest journal in its portfolio is Writers: Craft & Context. OU Libraries partnered with faculty members from the OU Writing Center, the Center for Faculty Excellence, and the Department of English to publish the inaugural issue in 2020.

The journal especially welcomes work on writers that doesn’t fit neatly elsewhere and is committed to a vision of "equitable representation in our scholarship and in our field at large”
