ARL-NASULGC Webcast on NIH Public Access Policy Now Online

The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) have made available an archived version of their March 7, 2008, webcast on "Institutional Compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy: Ensuring Deposit Rights."

The webcast archive is freely available from http://www.arl.org/sc/implement/nih/webcast/.

"This webcast explores the legal aspects of author rights management within the context of the new Public Access Policy adopted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Effective April 7, 2008, the new policy requires investigators to deposit their articles stemming from NIH funding in PubMed Central. Institutions confront a key set of issues raised by the need to ensure that authors maintain the legal rights required to allow compliance with the new policy."
