Managing Your Intellectual Property

The Science and Technology Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, which has oversight of non-defense federal civilian research and development, has convened a scholarly publishing roundtable charged with developing recommendations for government policies that promote public access to the results of federally funded research.  The roundtable, which consists of representatives from university, publisher, librarian, and research communities, released an initial status report this week.

The first international Open Access Week, meant to raise awareness of issues and benefits surrounding open access, begins today.

The UCLA Library is sponsoring a week of events for faculty, students, administrators, and librarians.
