IP and Diginole!

Have you discovered diginole yet? It is a repository in which FSU faculty and students can upload their published works. 

I chose to discuss this topic because this week's focus has been on intellectual property when you publish something in a scholarly journal, you don't necessarily retain the rights to the work. You can negotiate any aspect of the publishing contract, but I never have.

The link below will take you to the two published articles that I have in the repository. As you can tell, when you download the articles and they are pre-published forms of the works. That's one way to get around this issue because you're not directly uploading the journal article copied out of the journal. You are publishing a prepress version.

The person that explained this all to me is the librarian at FSU, Micah. Vanessa has already shared his Twitter account to follow. He's great! http://micahvandegrift.com/
