The Revolution Of University-Based Information, Michelle Armstrong, Julia Stringfellow

Library Faculty Publications and Presentations

Traditionally, information and scholarship produced by universities has been disseminated by for-profits publishers who charge for access to this scholarship. This approach to sharing the output of our nation's academic community has significantly limited access to that scholarship. Institutional repositories are revolutionizing how university-based information is made accessible to society as a whole. This presentation will explore how libraries are supporting access to academic scholarship, issues involved in providing the scholarship such as types of information, intellectual property, and quality control, and ways users can access, evaluate, and utilize university-based information.

Acta And Access To Medicines, Sean Flynn, Bijan Madhani

Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series

The Greens/EFA Internet Core Group in the European Parliament, and a collection of its individual members, commissioned this analysis of potential impacts of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) on access to medicines in developing countries.” On the whole, ACTA negotiators created an agreement that shifts international “hard law” rules and “soft law” encouragements toward making enforcement of intellectual property rights in courts, at borders, by the government and by private parties easier, less costly, and more “deterrent” in the level of penalties. In doing so, it increases the risks and consequences of wrongful searches, seizures, lawsuits and other enforcement actions …

Identifying Social Influence In Networks Using Randomized Experiments, Sinan Aral, Dylan Walker

Business Faculty Articles and Research

The recent availability of massive amounts of networked data generated by email, instant messaging, mobile phone communications, micro blogs, and online social networks is enabling studies of population-level human interaction on scales orders of magnitude greater than what was previously possible.1'2 One important goal of applying statistical inference techniques to large networked datasets is to understand how behavioral contagions spread in human social networks. More precisely, understanding how people influence or are influenced by their peers can help us understand the ebb and flow of market trends, product adoption and diffusion, the spread of health behaviors such as smoking and …

Answering legal reference questions can be challenging, especially when you are not doing it on a daily basis.
