The Right to Deposit - The Right to Deposit event

"The University of California (UC) and Authors Alliance hosted an event on April 16, 2024 to explore the deposit rights environment authors currently face and the role institutions can play supporting these rights, create deeper national awareness of rights issues related to the Federal purpose license, and discuss benefits of invoking the Federal purpose license. This event was co-sponsored by the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL), the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA), the HBCU Library Alliance, the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation, the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC), and the Texas Digital Library (TDL).
