4. Resources for Authors

   - The SPARC-ACRL Forum on Author Rights
   <http://e2ma.net/go/2111948346/1922824/71471862/5584/goto:http://www.arl.org/sparc/meetings/ala06mw/>

   Available via SPARC podcast, this forum offers perspectives on copyright
   from a librarian, publisher, and an attorney - and is a great introduction
   to the topic of author rights. Michael Carroll's talk from the attorney
   perspective, for example, makes clear that "as soon as the author's finished
   typing, federal law showers down upon the author a set of exclusive
   rights...the author does not transfer any exclusive rights until the author
   signs a document."

Authors<http://e2ma.net/go/2111948346/1922824/71471860/5584/goto:http://www.arl.org/sparc/author/index.html>.

5. Resources for Publishers

   - Index of campus-based publishing partnerships - now
online<http://e2ma.net/go/2111948346/1922824/71471858/5584/goto:http://www.arl.org/sparc/partnering>

   The Scholarly Communication Program, based at Columbia University
   Libraries/Information Services' Center for Digital Research and Scholarship,
   now offers an index of campus-based publishing partnerships. The index
   employs framework and data from "Campus-based publishing partnerships: A
   guide to critical issues" by Raym Crow, and is part of the Campus-based
   Publishing Resource Center organized by the Scholarly Publishing and
   Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC).

More SPARC guides, tools, and links for publishers are available on the
SPARC Web site.<http://e2ma.net/go/2111948346/1922824/71471857/5584/goto:http://www.arl.org/sparc/publisher/>

6. SPARC Resources for Students

   - National student organizations call for Open Access to research

   <http://e2ma.net/go/2111948346/1922824/71471854/5584/goto:http://www.arl.org/sparc/media/09-0610.shtml>
   A coalition of national and regional college student associations today
   issued a "Student Statement on the Right to Research," calling on
   universities, research funders, and researchers to take action in support of
   Open Access to research. The American Medical Student Association, the
   Student PIRGs, Students for Free Culture, and Universities Allied for
   Essential Medicines, as well as the Trinity University Association of
   Student Representatives and the California Institute of Technology Graduate
   Student Council have signed the statement.
