Benefits of Rights Management for Authors

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), and SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) have released a short video on the increasing need for authors to retain their rights, i.e. copyright, over their own work. The two-minute video presentation explains in simple, graphic terms the potential for wider exposure of scholarly articles when authors retain key rights. The press release is available at http://www.arl.org/sparc/media/08-0317.html The address of the video is: http://blip.tv/file/743274
