Excellent news that will result in NRC work becoming accessible to all Canadians. From an internal email (with permission):
"[The NRC Senior Executive Committee] SEC has established a policy making it mandatory, starting in January 2009, for NRC institutes to deposit copies of all peer-reviewed publications (articles, proceedings, books, book chapters) and technical reports in [the forthcoming NRC Institutional Repository, to be called] NPArC. The SEC has also approved an update to NRC Form 22 Licence to Publish (Crown Copyright) that will explicitly state NRC's intention to deposit these publications in NPArC."
This is something I've lobbied internally on for years, so I'm happy about this final result. There's no official release yet but the story has already broken on Science Library Pad, Digital Koan, eprints.org. -- Stephen
