Congress to hold off on Anti-NIH Bill
The bill brought forth during last week’s congressional hearing regarding the NIH Public Access Mandate has been shelved until next year, reports Library Journal, but the copyright debate rages on.
The bill, focusing on publisher’s copyright, stated: “No Federal agency may, in connection with a funding agreement…impose or cause the imposition of any term or condition that requires the transfer or license to or for a Federal agency any right provided under [copyright law].”
