<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In an effort to support instructors and students in a seamless transition to remote learning arrangements and support its mission to disseminate top-quality, globally relevant
scholarship across the humanities and social sciences, The Ohio State University Press has opened up access to all scholarly monographs, its six scholarly journals, and its Language Files linguistics textbook, now in its twelfth edition and widely adopted
across the world. The monographs and Language Files will be open and free to use through The Ohio State University Libraries’ institutional repository, Knowledge Bank, at this link: https://kb.osu.edu/handle/1811/131.

All materials will remain open through the end of the summer or until colleges and universities are able to resume normal operations. “The COVID-19 pandemic presents an unprecedented challenge to the global scholarly ecosystem and its institutions. This move
is our way of easing the burden on students and instructors so that they can continue research and coursework as smoothly as possible, as well as to honor the work of our authors in making their research available when the world needs nuanced and rigorous
scholarship the most,” The Ohio State University Press Director Tony Sanfilippo said.
