NIH Public Access Policy
On January 11, 2008, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a revision to its Public Access Policy. The policy now *requires* eligible researchers to deposit copies of final manuscripts upon acceptance into a peer-reviewed journal so that they may be made publicly available within 12 months of publication. This policy applies to any journal articles resulting from research supported in whole or in part by direct funds from NIH. The manuscript is defined as the final version accepted for journal publication and includes all modifications from the publishing and peer-review process.

Changes to SciFinder Scholar Access
SciFinder Scholar is now available for off-campus access through OIT's Citrix server at http://analysis.utk.edu.
Students can use this server for free. Faculty and staff users must purchase a one-time server access license. You can order that at http://oit.utk.edu/software/orderform.php by requesting an Analysis Server Access License, $16.
Once the access license is downloaded, SciFinder Scholar is located in the science/engineering folder. Please be aware that you're using a remote server, so be sure to save files to your C: drive.
For assistance, please contact Teresa Berry, Science Librarian, at tberry0[at]utk.edu.
