Call for Contribution of Content to The Syriac Digital Library   Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute is building content for its Syriac Digital Library Project. The library primarily contains out-of-copyright material, and some copyrighted material when permission can be obtained. Scholars who published journal articles (or books that are now out of print) may submit their publications for inclusion in The Syriac Digital Library. The library will be made available on the Internet.   We are interested in works on Syriac studies and related fields.   How to submit publications for Inclusion in The Syriac Digital Library?   1. Obtaining Permission from the original publisher: a) In the case of journal articles, ask the editor/publisher of the journal for permission to include your paper in The Syriac Digital Library. Explain that The Syriac Digital Library is a project of The Syriac Institute, a non-profit organization. You will find that post editors will be positive.   b) In the case of out-of-print books: if you are the copyright holder, then you need not take any steps. If you assigned the copyright to your publisher, ask the publisher to reverse the rights back to you. Note that in most cases publishers cannot deny you the copyright and at the same time not reprint your book. (Usually, there is a clause in your contract which states that after some time of you requesting the publisher to reprint the book, if the publisher fails to do so the rights automatically revert back to you.)   2. Download, print and sign the Statement of Understanding from http://www.bethmardutho.org/ebetharke/eBethArkeArticlePermissionContract.pdf. Here, you are simply giving The Syriac Digital Library a non-exclusive permission to include your work in the library, and telling us that you did obtain permission from the original publisher if necessary. You are not giving us any copyright rights in this agreement (you keep the copyright).   3. Send us the signed Statement of Understanding, and a copy of the off-print (in the case of an article) or a copy of the book to the following address:   Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute Syriac Digital Library Project 46 Orris Ave. Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA   Unless you indicate otherwise, we will not return the material.     George Kiraz   -------------------------- George A.
