Encouraging faculty to use an author addendum Yesterday the U of Illinois Provost, Linda Katehi, sent this email letter to U of Illinois faculty:
(Thanks to Katie Newman on the U of I Scholarly Communication blog.) Comment. The U of I is right to encourage faculty to use the CIC author addendum. But in the June SOAN, I hoped that CIC institutions would go further:
What's important is not how often U of I faculty use the author addendum, but how often they self-archive. I hope Provost Katehi's office monitors the self-archiving rate and is ready to adopt an effective policy to move it toward 100%. |
