From mtehrani at nyit.edu Wed Feb 1 15:06:22 2012 From: mtehrani at nyit.edu (Mahnaz Tehrani) Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 16:06:22 -0500 Subject: [mla-nynj] The NIH public access policy (February 2012) Message-ID: Dear members, Please take a few moments to go over the message below that was just sent by Mary Langman from MLA. The NIH released a new (February 2012) document summarizing its public access policy. "WHAT IS AT STAKE UNDER THE PUBLIC ACCESS POLICY: Opening up to the public 90,000 new scientific articles each year reporting research that U.S. taxpayers have funded through NIH???s annual 32 billion dollar investment in biomedical research....HOW IT WORKS: The NIH policy honors, and is consistent with, U.S. copyright law. The author, as the creator of the work, holds the copyright in the original paper. The author gives NIH a non-exclusive right to distribute the paper in PMC and may transfer to the publisher the balance of his rights, including an exclusive copyright for the final published version of the paper....SUPPORT FROM PUBLISHERS:...Publishers representing about 1000 journals voluntarily submit the full content of their journals to PMC, regardless of whether the issue contains an article subject to the NIH Public Access Policy....NO HARM TO PUBLISHERS IS EVIDENT:...The Public Access requirement took effect in 2008. While the U.S. economy has suffered a downturn during the time period 2007 to 2011, scientific publishing has grown: [1] The number of journals dedicated to publishing biological sciences/agriculture articles and medicine/health articles increased 15% and 19%, respectively. [2] The average subscription prices of biology journals and health sciences journals increased 26% and 23%, respectively. [3] Publishers forecast increases to the rate of growth of the medical journal market, from 4.5% in 2011 to 6.3% in 2014...."

Hello Network members,

Please excuse cross postings.  This came across one of our regional 
medical library lists, so I am forwarding to encourage hospital 
librarians to complete this survey.

Getting librarians involved in emergency preparedness within the 
institution and community is a strong effort for MAR.  We will soon be 
announcing year 2 request for proposals for projects to be funded May 1, 
2012-April 30, 2013.  Funding will be available for development of a 
course aimed at developing skills in using disaster health-related 
information resources to improve services during and after an 
emergency.  Funding will also be available for projects to partner 
libraries with organizations needing health related information during 
an emergency.  Stay tuned!

Sincerely,
Renae Barger

*Subject:* [Hls-list] Hospital Librarians Survey - Emergency/Disaster 
Involvement


Please forgive the cross-posting!  But do feel free to forward this on 
to your hospital librarian colleagues through state or regional lists 
(I've got Wisconsin covered) - I would very much appreciate it as I'm 
trying to reach as many hospital librarians as humanly possible.

The objective of this survey is to look at whether hospital librarians 
are actively involved in their organizations' emergency & disaster 
preparedness activities and, if so, how. Some demographics will also be 
captured. By exploring what roles currently exist and presenting these 
findings in a poster at the 2012 Annual Medical Libraries Association 
Conference in Seattle, WA, it is the author's hope that hospital 
librarians can continue their involvement in this vital area and learn 
from each other.

Disclaimer: This survey has been exempted from Institutional Review 
Board oversight as the Aurora Health Care IRB has determined it does not 
constitute human subject research. Results will be kept confidential and 
presented only in aggregate. Any personally identifiable information 
provided (optional) will be disassociated from responses and will only 
be used by the author to follow up on individual disaster/emergency 
experiences.

Survey deadline: Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 (11:59pm, CST). The 
survey should take 5-15 minutes to complete, depending on the depth of 
your responses.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Good afternoon,
