Institutional Compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy: Ensuring Deposit Rights
A Webcast sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries
and the National Association of State University and Land-Grant Colleges
Friday, March 7, 2008
1:00 - 2:00 p.m.
VCU Libraries will present the webcast on both campuses:
VCU Libraries will host a Webcast on the institutional issues involved with compliance with the new National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy. This Webcast will explore the legal aspects of author rights management within the context of the new policy that will be effective April 7, 2008. The policy will have many benefits for research institutions, including better documentation of publications resulting from funded research. However, 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.
The intended audience for this Webcast is vice presidents of research, administrators and staff in funded research and grants offices, campus compliance officers, and others who will be responsible for fulfilling their organizations compliance obligations as NIH grantees. The Webcast is sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries and the National Association of State University and Land-Grant Colleges. For more information, visit the ARL Web site.
No registration is necessary.
