Hello!
How are you dealing with the copyright problems of wide distribution
of reprints? I am trying to get more info about this for my
institution (Wadsworth Center, NY State Dept of Health, Albany, NY
USA) There appear to be limitations to redistributing imposed by the
publisher's contracts for e-journal subscriptions to our Library. What
is your experience?
Here are some statements I found on the Web.
1. From http://www.agu.org/pubs/copyright.html
Usage Permissions Permission is granted for individuals to make
single copies for personal use in research, study, or teaching and to
use figures, tables, and short quotes from the journal for
republication in scientific books and journals. This permission does
not extend to posting a copy of the PDF or HTML created by AGU for
publication. There is no charge for any of these uses, ut the material
must be cited appropriately.
Rights Granted to Authors AGU?s philosophy recognizes the need to
ensure that authors have a say in how their works are used and the
necessity to foster broad dissemination of scientific literature while
protecting the viability of the publication system. The following
nonexclusive rights are granted to AGU authors:
? All proprietary rights other than copyright (such as patent rights)
? The right to present the material orally
? The right to reproduce figures, tables, and extracts properly cited
? The right to make paper copies of all or part of the contribution
for classroom use
? The right to deny subsequent commercial use of the contribution
? The right to place the contribution or its abstract on his/her
personal Web site as described below.
Policies Posting article to author?s Web site Authors may post their
unformatted papers or their abstracts to their own Web sites or their
departmental Web sites according to the guidelines listed below. If
authors wish to post preprints of their articles on other sites, they
should be aware of the relevant part of the Dual publication policy
that deals with preprints

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I was informed by the mentors list that the science group was the
place to come to look for advice and possible sponsorship to get
this package into the debian package tree. Details as follows:
I can't sponsor you (not a DD), but I'm glad that you've packaged this.
It is a handy package for those of us who might be building
reprint/preprint repositories...

eprints - Content Management System for Information Archiving
EPrints is a web-based content management system. It allows a large
number of contributors to share their digital objects/documents with
others. Contributors provide descriptive data (metadata) which is
dependent on the type of object being deposited (presentations, articles,
books etc.). Before being published objects must be accepted by an
editor. Users can access published objects through web-page listings,
searches, email alerts or via integration with other systems.
==
So it is basically an OAI compliant archive for sharing
publications, which is it's primary focus. Although it can be used
to host a great number of different files for different purposes.
Some examples of companies using it:
http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/
http://eprints.rclis.org/
http://openmed.nic.in/
I have built the package, lintain clean into the debian mentors
repository and would appreciate any advice of suitability for
submitting to the debian package tree.
Many Thanks
