Speaker: Michelle Malizia, MA, Associate Director, National Network of Libraries of Medicine South Central Region

Topic: The NIH Public Access Policy

As of April 7, 2008, all Principal Investigators funded by NIH are required to comply with the NIH Public Access Policy. In part, this policy mandates that that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts.

This presentation provides an overview of the policy, including an explanation of the reason behind the policy and a brief description of the steps needed to maintain compliance.

Lunch for the first 25 attendees will be free, first come, first served.

Sponsored by the HAM-TMC Library/Fondren Library, Rice University Scholarly Communication Team.
