But as with anything involving domestic and foreign copyright, the issue of public domain far is more complicated than any one act or policy. This article describes some of the complications involved when trying to determine public domain status.

Abstract: Both the Library and its staff benefit when the staff’s expertise is shared with others through publication. But how can potential authors manage their copyrights to maximize the benefits that arise from appearing in print? In this presentation, Peter Hirtle will give an overview of rights management issues in professional publishing and will identify options open to authors. Dianne Dietrich will recount her recent experience of publishing an article and the lessons she learned.

Abstract: How can cultural heritage institutions use new technologies to improve access to holdings for remote users when so much material is protected by copyright and the repository is normally not the copyright owner? Many American institutions have put material online even when they do not own the copyright, after taking thoughtful measures to minimize the risk that this may incur. Others have elected to forego any efforts to control the use of public domain reproductions from their holdings.

A bibliometric analysis Authors: Davis, Philip M. Abstract: Prior research has suggested that providing free and discounted access to the scientific literature to researchers in low-income countries increases article production and citation. Using traditional bibliometric indicators for institutions in sub-Saharan Africa, we analyze whether institutional access to TEEAL (a digital collection of journal articles in agriculture and allied subjects) increases: 1) article production; 2) reference length; and 3) number of citations to journals included in the TEEAL collection. Our analysis is based on nearly 20,000 articles—containing half a million references—published between 1988 and 2009 at 70 institutions in 11 African countries. We report that access to TEEAL does not appear to result in higher article production, although it does lead to longer reference lists (an additional 2.6 references per paper) and a greater frequency of citations to TEEAL journals (an additional 0.4 references per paper), compared to non-subscribing institutions. We discuss how traditional bibliometric indicators may not provide a full picture of the effectiveness of free and discounted literature programs.
