Summary:
"Many authors would like their books to be more widely available to readers. For example, some authors may want their out-of-print books back in print, while others may want their books deposited in open access repositories. However, since most authors sign over some or all of the rights in their works to their publishers, they may not know how to make their works available in the ways they want. Please help us build a resource to help authors advance their authorial interests by completing this 10-minute survey describing your publishing experiences and by sending us copies of your publishing contracts. Your responses will help us create materials with information and strategies to help authors regain some or all of the rights in their books."
