Know Your Author Rights: Negotiating to Keep Your Copyright


Steven Bell, Associate University Librarian for Research & Instructional Services
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
12:00 until 1:00 PM
TECH Center Room 111

Your article manuscript was just accepted for publication. Great! Now you are asked to sign the publisher's author agreement. Seems simple enough. But what are you really agreeing to when you sign that form? In all likelihood it means you agree to give up most if not all of your rights to your own scholarly content. But it doesnt have to be that way. More faculty are choosing to add a custom addendum to the author agreement that will preserve their rights as an author. Come to this ITUG session to learn more about author rights and how you can use readily available author addenda to shift the balance of rights in your favor when it comes time to sign the publishers copyright agreement.
