NIH Public Access Policy
You may or may not have heard that earlier this year the NIH adopted a revised public access policy requiring all peer-reviewed articles that report on NIH funded research to be deposited in PubMed within 12 months of publication. ARL (the Association of Research Libraries) in conjunction with SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) have written a white paper that details how grantees can comply with the new policy. This is available at:

This issue is of high interest within the library community. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
