New SPARC Discussion Forum to Address Author Rights

SPARC has created a new forum for the discussion of author rights:

The list will focus primarily on the U.S. and Canadian legal environments, though members of the international community are welcome to join. Educators, researchers, policy makers, librarians, legal counsel, and all who have an interest in responsible author copyright management are encouraged to contribute. The SPARC Author Rights Forum is moderated by Kevin Smith, J.D., Scholarly Communications Officer for Duke University Libraries.

To request membership in this SPARC Author Rights Forum, send any message to sparc-arforum-feed@arl.org.
