I found an item in Texas ScholarWorks that has problematic, harmful, or offensive text or images. Who should I contact?
We aim to provide access to collection materials in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, steward, and are represented in our holdings, but we realize that descriptive work is not and never has been neutral: it is done by people with their own backgrounds, experiences, and biases. We are committed to reviewing and correcting harmful language in our descriptions, and providing contextualization for language within the documents themselves. When providing feedback on Texas ScholarWorks (TSW) materials, please include a URL to the relevant item whenever possible.
Please see UT Libraries' Statement on Harmful Language and Content for more information.

The administrators for Texas ScholarWorks may upload UT Austin authored content that is free of any copyright restrictions that would limit distribution. These are usually open access publications that are published with a CC-BY (Creative Commons Attribution) license or , are from publishers that allow PDF versions of their articles to be posted in institutional repositories, or are items that are in the public domain. Since TSW was established to provide open, online access to the scholarship of the university, we add those works to Texas ScholarWorks. If you have questions or concerns about your work, please contact the Repository Curator at tsw@utlists.utexas.edu.

Graduating doctoral students at The University of Texas at Austin, as of the summer semester of 2001, are required to publish an electronic copy of their dissertation. Master's students, as of Fall 2010, are required to publish an electronic copy of their thesis. Texas ScholarWorks accepts deposits of theses and dissertations from the Office of Graduate Studies at UT Austin. These digital documents and their metadata are exposed to Google and other search engines upon deposit so they can be available to the world for viewing and downloading.

No. The digital version of your work in Texas ScholarWorks is an exact copy of your submitted version which was signed and approved by your committee and the Office of Graduate Studies. The UT Libraries cannot accept modified or replacement versions. The only exception to this is a vita page listed in a public ETD. If your ETD does have a vita page and you’d like it removed, please contact tsw@utlists.utexas.edu.
