SPEC Kit 310: Author Addenda · 23
addendum modeled on the SPARC addendum. Both are available on the Scholarly Communications Web site.
Librarians met with faculty groups to promote the addenda and to inform faculty about the NIH Public Access
Policy.
OhioLINK has promoted this idea but has not written a specific addendum.
Our institution is not inclined to endorse an author addenda (in fact questions what, exactly, endorsement means),
but we are in the process of increasing the information we provide to faculty, including providing informational
links to author addenda.
The Libraries encourage it, but our “institution” doesn’t really.
The author rights addendum is posted on the University Libraries’ Web site. The University Libraries have had
speakers from the University Press and the General Counsel’s Office inform librarians about the addendum who
are in turn informing faculty members.
The Canadian Association of Research Libraries collaborated with SPARC to create the SPARC Canadian Author
Addendum.
The CIC Provost’s Addenda was endorsed by the Faculty Senate in the Spring of 2008. It was not without
controversy, and I would consider the endorsement to be rather weak. At least one subcommittee thought that
the addenda unnecessarily inserted the university into the author-publisher relationship and could damage such
relationships. Others pointed out (on the floor of the Senate) that such addenda are meaningless unless the
university can put resources behind the faculty in negotiations.
The Faculty Senate has urged faculty members to use the SPARC Author’s Addendum. Since the passage of this
recommendation, the library has advised faculty to use the Scholar’s Copyright Addendum Engine.
The Scholarly Communication Team promotes the use of the SPARC addendum to faculty and students.
We support the use of the UC-wide author addendum, which is found on the UC Reshaping Scholarly
Communication Web site.
We have an approved publisher letter addressing NIH policy compliance.
We are holding a series of meetings with faculty and others to advance the notion of negotiating author
agreements and using addenda to reserve rights.
Web pages have been developed with information and links to a variety of addenda. These are not actively
promoted.
While the Faculty Senate endorsed and the Provost promoted the use of the addendum, there has not been
consistent promotion.
If the use of an author addendum has been promoted or endorsed by your institution, please

If the use or endorsement of an author addendum is under consideration at your institution,
