Free Full-Text Journals in Chemistry

Professional Reading Shelf
Preservation
Saving the Artistic Orphans
Brewster Kahle, his lawsuit, and IA in the news again! "Valuable resources are being lost to students, researchers and historians because of sweeping changes in copyright law, according to digital archivists who are suing the government. These resources -- older books, films and music -- are often out of print and considered no longer commercially viable, but are still locked up under copyright. Locating copyright owners is a formidable challenge because Congress no longer requires that owners register or renew their copyrights with the U.S. Copyright Office. Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive and Rick Prelinger, a film collector, want permission to digitize these so-called orphan works to create online libraries for free public access. In a suit filed in March, the plaintiffs in Kahle v. Ashcroft argue that multiple changes to copyright law have essentially made it impossible for works to return to the public domain. They want to have these changes declared unconstitutional."

Two New Resources from the American Library Association
+ A Communications Handbook for Libraries
"'A Communications Handbook for Libraries' will help libraries preserve and promote their programs-while dealing with the challenges of the USA PATRIOT Act and seemingly endless budget cuts. The handbook will be useful to the entire library community, including public library professionals and staff, school librarians, library researchers, curators of special collections, trustees, systems librarians and Friends of libraries. Much of the 'Communications Handbook for Libraries' deals with what should happen before you pick up the phone or send an e-mail."
++ Continuing Education (CE) Clearinghouse
"The CE Clearinghouse is a searchable database of continuing education opportunities offered by ALA, its divisions and other units. The result of input from numerous ALA members and working groups, it includes face-to-face workshops and conferences, online learning, as well as workshops that can be licensed by local institutions."
