The librarians at the Veterinary Medicine Library, other NCSU subject librarians, and the Copyright and Digital Scholarship Center can help you achieve compliance with the mandate to make research related to your NIH funding available through PubMed Central. We can:

• Figure out whether you are already in compliance with the mandate for public access to your NIH-funded research
• Guide you in reviewing the publication agreements for your future and past articles to see whether or not your publishers will be making your work available, or whether you will need to directly submit your manuscripts
• Work with you to create or maintain a My Bibliography account in MyNCBI that contains both your articles indexed by PubMed, and any funded research articles published in journals not indexed by PubMed
• Help you or your delegate submit published manuscripts to PubMed Central when needed
• Help you or your delegate use your ERA Commons account for linking your PubMed Central article IDs to your grant progress reports
• Help train your students or collaborators or delegates to assist with maintaining your funded research projects’ compliance

Visit the NCSU Copyright and Digital Scholarship Center website for more information on whether the NIH Public Access Policy applies to your research or information on author agreements with publishers about depositing manuscripts in PubMed Central.

The University Archives Memorabilia Collection, (collection guide now available), includes several interesting furniture pieces with ties to the University’s history.  One is the desk of Dr. Charles W. Dabney, Jr.  Dr. Dabney accepted the position of Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station and State Chemist in 1880 and became an active member of the Watauga [...]

Just in time for finals week, we have added new dual headed LED desktop study lamps for the east carrels. These are not attached to the desk, so that you may place them wherever on the desk provides you the most illumination. The necks of the lamps are very adjustable as well, just hold on to the base as you change the position.

Thanks to the house officers and graduate students for suggesting stronger lighting to their representatives on the CVM Library and Education Resources Committee.

Need to add a small amount of printing value to your AllCampus account and can’t get to the Talley Center on main campus?

The convenience fee for making online deposits of $10.00 or less via credit card has been reduced to $0.25. All info on making deposits is at http://onecard.ncsu.edu/allcampus-network/allcampus-account/make-deposit/
When you go online to make a deposit, you now have two choices–the new option for small deposits of $10 or less for a $0.25 fee, as well as the regular option to make any amount of deposit with the $2.00 fee. Deposits made at the AllCampus desk in Talley do not incur a convenience charge, even if you pay with a credit card.

Thank you to the members of the CVM Library and Education Resources Committee for advocating for this change. If you have any questions or comments about printing at NCSU, please visit http://oit.ncsu.edu/wolfprint/wolfprint-welcome.
