Third Scholarly Communications
Symposium Preserving
your Intellectual Property Rights as a Scholar
Georgetown University Libraries
Friday, April 21, 10 a.m.-Noon
Murray Room, Lauinger Library
Scholarship
is changing rapidly in ways that hit at the heart of the academy
across all disciplines, particularly in the area
of author retention rights. These trends affect how faculty and
researchers undertake work and have an impact on authorship,
editorial boards, promotion and tenure decisions, and access
to resources. Please join us for what we hope will be a stimulating
presentation and discussion on Author Retention Rights and what
this means for your scholarly work. Our panel will include:
- Peggy
Hoon, J.D., Scholarly Communication Librarian and Special Assistant
to the Provost for Copyright Administration at
North Carolina State University;
- Susan Poland,
J.D., Legal Research Associate, Kennedy Institute of Ethics,
Georgetown University;
- Carole
Sargent, Ph.D., Office of Faculty Publications, Georgetown
University;
- Richard
Brown, Ph.D., Director, Georgetown University Press.
The goal of the program is to give you practical skills you
can use when negotiating with publishers on retention of
your intellectual property rights.
Georgetown University faculty need to be knowledgeable about
the changes relative to scholarly
communication as an important first
step toward building support
in the academic community for adopting new approaches to publishing
and disseminating faculty
knowledge.
This symposium series is
designed to lay the foundation for a robust campus dialogue and
new initiatives. We invite you
to join us. Light refreshments
will be served. Please RSVP to Joan
Cheverie.

» Food
For Fines

fines to work for the community. For two weeks, April 5-April 19,

canned good or non-perishable food item brought to Lauinger or
Blommer Science Library, $1.00 in current library fines will be
removed from your record.

AJCU LibQual+™ Survey A Success!
This spring the
Georgetown University Library joined the 28 members of the Association
of Jesuit Colleges and Universities in conducting the 2006 LibQual+™ Survey.
As participants in this survey, we will be able to analyze and compare
our service quality results with other AJCU members.
The 2006 LibQual+™ questionnaire was emailed to a randomly
selected group of 3,000 faculty and students over the last three
weeks, and we would like to thank the more than 400 participants
who have responded.
You can find more information
on the LibQual+™ survey, including
an FAQ page, on
the Library’s website. Survey results will be
distributed to the AJCU libraries at the American
Library Association annual meeting in New Orleans in late June.
Information and results will be posted on the Library website.
»Make
the Most of Research Time
One student told
us “it was the best thing ever!” Make
an appointment with a reference librarian to discuss the resources
that would be most helpful for your project. It's a great opportunity
to air your research concerns, find out what research materials are
available, and learn how best to use them. Students, faculty, and staff
may schedule these. The Reference Department offers Quick
Consultations, a brief 15-20 minute
session, and Research
Conferences,
a half-hour to one-hour session covering resources for a thesis, dissertation,
or major project. Government
Documents and the Blommer
Science Library also offer appointments. For more information about
how we can help, go to the Library's Research
and Reference Help page. If you need more specific assistance
on a research subject, particularly for higher level undergraduate
or graduate research, please feel free to contact one of our bibliographers.
