RE: NIH policy, information about

["T Scott Plutchak" <tscott@uab.edu>]

The AAHSL (Association of Academic Health Science Libraries) Scholarly
Communication Committee is looking into developing some kind of a
"toolkit" that libraries can use in spreading the word on their campuses
and helping researchers understand the issues and practicalities involved.  
NIH has sent out a letter explaining the policy to "ALL NIH Extramural
Scientists and Institutions with Active NIH Support" (letter is dated
February 3rd, it hit UAB on the 8th).  The letter directs "submitting
authors" to this website (http://nihms.nih.gov/) for additional
information.  Not much there yet.

Subject: NIH policy, information about

Have any of you folks out there in library or publisher land done
something to to make researchers aware of the NIH posting (to PMC) policy?  
Is this something that researchers already know about?  Will learn about
from the NIH?  From their publishers?  From the campus Grants & Contracts
Office?  Or?  Thank you, Ann Okerson
